Girls and the sea

Taghreed el-Azza - 2010 Fiction 7 min.

Shown at the 2012 London Palestine Film Festival as part of "The Spring of
Young Palestinian Women Filmmakers", a programme guest curated by Shashat,
the Palestinian film NGO: Girls and the Sea follows three young Palestinian
girls planning to go to the beach after one of them wins a prize, a stay at
a hotel by the sea. They prepare for the trip with much enthusiasm. But
they still have to navigate a number of obstacles before they can reach
their goal... The film was produced as part of a Shashat training programme
for women filmmakers which invited young Palestinians from seven different
cities to create works around the theme of "summer".
