Shortlisted for Best International Film at the 2025 Academy® Awards, From Ground Zero is a collection of short films initiated by Palestinian film-maker Rashid Masharawi, in response to the events following the attacks of October 7, 2023. The project brings together 22 Palestinian filmmakers from Gaza, offering a cinematic perspective on the daily lives, hopes and realities of the inhabitants amidst war.
From Executive Producer Michael Moore and Palestine's Official Submission for the 2025 Academy® Awards, From Ground Zero uses a blend of animation, documentary, and fiction, creating 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.
Each film, ranging in length from three to six minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. Despite harsh filming conditions, Gaza’s vibrant artistic scene shines through this stunning anthology film.
