The film is selected at ACID CANNES 2025
Fatem (Fatima) Hassouna was a 25-year-old photojournalist, the protagonist of the film co-produced by 24images, “Put your soul in your hand and walk.” On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, ACID announced the film’s selection at the Cannes Film Festival. On Wednesday, April 16, Fatem was murdered along with 9 members of her family by a direct strike from the Israeli army on her home. After the shock and anger, we are left with words, thoughts, solidarity, and support for her and her family. May her voice be heard, may her face be seen, in tribute to all the Palestinian victims of the past 19 months!
Put your soul on your hand and walk was my response as a filmmaker, to the ongoing massacre of he Palestinians. My personal way not to lose my sanity. A miracle happened when I met Fatem through a Palestinian friend. Ever since, she became my eyes in Gaza, while surviving under the bombs and documenting the war. And I, became her connection to the outside world, from her Gaza prison, as she puts it. We kept this line of life going for more than 200 days. The bits of pixels and sounds that we exchanged constitute the film that you see. Fatem’s assasination on April 16, 2025, following an Israeli attack on her home has forever changed its meaning.
