About the film:

“An unforgettable exhibition of the human spirit, a memorial to the trauma and brutality of life under war, and a collection of art that raises awareness and demands a better ending to this story than a sequel.” – RogerEbert.com

Palestine’s Official Submission for the 2025 Academy Awards, From Ground Zero, is a collection of revealing stories from 22 Palestinian filmmakers living through war, who capture their lives in Gaza amidst war.

Using a blend of animation, documentary, and fiction, they create a powerful testament to the steadfastness of the human spirit. This film serves as a remarkable reflection of how art can thrive even in the darkest times, showcasing the enduring spirit and creativity that emerge amid ongoing devastation.
