It’s my message of love to Gaza and the Palestinian people, in particular to animator Haneen Koraz, Shorouq Darwish and Nour abdel Jawad and their team of women animation artists who devote themselves tirelessly to bringing hope to the children of Gaza. My little film was inspired by the poem Hamza by the great Palestinian poet FADWA TUQAN. I chose the part of her poem that compares and connects the mystery of the fertility of the Palestinian land to the mysterious power of it’s women.
The Global Animation Community unites in solidarity with Gaza to form AC4PAL. AC4Pal was created to support the work of Haneen Koraz, an animator based in Gaza who has been running animation workshops with displaced children and women across the region. The project “To Gaza with Love: A Global Anijam” brings together 329 short films from over 50 countries, created by animators, students, and studios in a collective act of solidarity with the people of Gaza.
