Palestinian Photojournalist & Protagonist Of Cannes-Selected Doc Killed In Israeli Gaza Strike
A Palestinian artist and photojournalist who is the protagonist of a documentary due to premiere in Cannes in May has been killed in an Israeli air strike. Fatima Hassouna died with nine members of her family in a direct strike on their home in Gaza City on Wednesday. More from Deadline Green Day Alters 'Jesus of Suburbia' Lyric In Support Of Palestine At Coachella World Premiere Of Lionsgate's Debut Israeli Show 'The German' Disrupted By Pro-Palestinian Protesters At Series Mania Front Row Secures MENA Rights For Oscar-Winning Documentary 'No Other Land' Hassouna, who had gained international recognition for her photojournalism capturing the impact on the Gaza Strip's civilian population of the Israeli military campaign, appears in French-Iranian director Sepideh Farsi's Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk. Hassouna was killed 24 hours after the documentary was announced as having been selected for parallel Cannes section ACID, running from May 14 to 23 alongside the main festival. The work revolves around video conversations between Farsi, whose credits include Berlinale-selected animated feature The Siren, and Hassouna. They began when the director connected with the young woman while researching a wider documentary on the events unfolding in Gaza. 'She was such a light, so talented. When you see the film you'll understand,' Farsi told Deadline. 'I had talked to her a few hours before to tell her that the film was in Cannes and to invite her.' Farsi recounts that Hassouna was open to the idea of attending the screening, as long as she could return to Gaza afterwards. 'She said, 'I'll come, but I have to go back to Gaza. I don't want to leave Gaza,' said Farsi. 'I was already in touch with the French Embassy. We'd just started but the process. I was worried about how to get her out and back in safely. I didn't want to have the responsibility of separating her from her family.' 'Now the whole family is dead. I'm trying to find out if her parents are dead but for sure Fatima and her sisters and brothers are dead. One of the sisters was pregnant. On a video call two days ago, she showed me her belly. It's so horrible and devastating. Fatima herself had gotten engaged a few months ago.' Farsi says she now fears that Hassouna may have been targeted because of her photojournalism work. 'I was trying to be a voice and accentuate her and now I don't know. I even feel guilty… maybe they targeted her because the film was announced. I don't know. We'll never know.' she said. 'The Israeli army said it bombed the house because there was a Hamas officer in there, which is totally false. I know the whole family. It's nonsense. It's just so devastating.' Israel's bombing and invasion of Gaza began in October 2023 in response to Hamas's October 7 attacks on southern Israel, which killed 1,200 people and resulted in the taking of 251 hostages. Eighteen months on, at least 51,065 people have died and another 116,505 people have been injured in the Gaza Strip, while 90 percent of the territory's 2.1 million-strong population have been displaced. Of the 251 hostages taken during the October 7 attack, 59 remain in the Gaza Strip, with around 24 of them still believed to be alive. Best of Deadline Which Colleen Hoover Books Are Becoming Movies?

World Premiere Of Lionsgate's Debut Israeli Show ‘The German' Disrupted By Pro-Palestinian Protesters At Series Mania
Sunday night's Series Mania screening of Lionsgate's debut Israeli drama was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters. Deadline was not present at the screening but a Series Mania spokeswoman confirmed that there were protests during the show and local Israeli news outlets have reported on the disruption. Sources told Deadline that the premiere was disturbed on a number of occasions. More from Deadline Canadian & French Producer Bodies Begin Co-Production Mission At Series Mania James Norton To Star In 'Wavewalker' Series; 'Adolescence' Writer Jack Thorne Adapting Bestseller For TV - Series Mania Federation Studios Strikes Deal With Taiwan's Content Agency The German is Lionsgate's first Israeli drama and is co-produced with Israel's Yes TV. Both declined comment on the protests. Starring Dark's Oliver Masucci, The German comes from the creative team behind Fauda and Tehran and follows two people who meet after World War Two and move to a kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee, but one is soon recruited for a dangerous mission – locate the Nazi war criminal, Dr. Josef Mengele. Addressing Series Mania prior to the screening, Series Mania boss Laurence Herszberg spoke about Series Mania being a place for creatives from all backgrounds. 'I often say that series reflect the world, and that the Séries Mania festival is a reflection of that,' she said. 'Yes, a festival is not a bubble closed off from all the upheavals and difficulties of today's world, and there are many of them. At the same time, a festival is a place where artists, all artists, express themselves, and it is very important for us, all of us who are feeling the current difficulties, that there are places where artists can express themselves, give free rein to their creativity and discuss their approach with you, the audience. We look at the world, we make selections of works precisely so as not to add to the chaos of the world, but I solemnly reaffirm that Series Mania is a festival where artists can and must express themselves.' Sunday's disruption was not the first time Series Mania has been hit by protest. Last year, a small pro-Palestine protest took place outside the Palais in Lille, with a group wearing Palestinian flags and holding a banner reading 'Stop Genocide In Gaza / Boycott Series Mania.' That year, Series Mania was criticized by Israeli producers after Herszberg said it was 'impossible' for a show from Israel to be included in its official selection. Speaking to Deadline before the screening, Masucci detailed the experience of shooting the show as the Israel-Hamas war was raging last year.
