Global distribution company, Cercamon, has obtained global distribution rights for the Gaza-based documentary titled “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,” created by Iranian-French director Sepideh Farsi.
The documentary will debut for the first time on a global scale within the ACID program during the upcoming Cannes Film Festival next month.
This feature provides a personal, real-life perspective of life under siege in Gaza, as seen through video chats between Farsi and the young Palestinian photojournalist, Fatma Hassona. Sadly, Hassona lost her life in an Israeli missile attack on her home only a day after the film was selected for Cannes.
The documentary “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk” captures and shares the day-to-day experiences of a generation living amidst ongoing conflict, as seen from their unique vantage point within the seemingly never-ending circle of war.
Sebastien Chesneau, from Cercamon, expressed deep emotion after witnessing the extraordinary bravery and tenacity portrayed in the film. He praised Sepideh Farsi’s work for not just providing a glimpse into Gaza, but also serving as a powerful testament to hope, dignity, and the indomitable human spirit amidst life’s most challenging times. Cercamon feels privileged to handle this vital and timely documentary and aims to share Fatma’s message with audiences globally.
The filmmaker Farsi, known for “The Siren,” “Red Rose,” and “Tehran Without Permission,” explained the origin of this project: “This movie emerged from my intense curiosity to understand how people are managing in Gaza. My relationship with Fatem, who was affectionately called by her friends, was a remarkable coincidence that led to a profound bond through our regular conversations over a year. Her courage and compassion shone through every interaction we had.
She stated, “The movie honors her and every civilian caught in the turmoil of war, who still hold onto their aspirations. I’m thrilled to team up with Cercamon to spread Fatem’s tale far and profoundly.
Under the banner of Rêves d’Eau Productions, in a joint effort with 24images, this documentary titled ‘Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk’ is brought to you. It artfully blends personal narratives, live footage, and poetic musings to portray life in the midst of devastation.
