Those considered terrorists by the Israeli government, Piero Usberti went to meet them: "In Gaza, one must arrive in the evening in spring, lock oneself in their room, and listen to the sounds coming through the open windows. It is 2018. I am 25 years old and a foreign traveler meeting young Palestinians my own age. They brought me into their daily lives, which quickly took on a very political aspect. A life one does not always imagine." The images shot by the Franco-Italian director are a hymn to the beauty of the Gaza Strip, despite the barbed wires on one side and the impassable sea on the other; a hymn to the youth filled with hope and anger; a hymn to life. Usberti completed the editing in late September 2023. His travelogue film has turned into a historical document. Of the Gaza he filmed, practically nothing remains. "This film, which I had shot and edited in the present, has become, through the force of history, a film of the past. Today, Voyage to Gaza shows what life looked like before October 7th. I even believe I can affirm that with this event, what the film shows and conveys possesses even more strength. At any rate, it is good that, at a moment when Gaza is so present in the news, a film can show what the Great March of Return was, what life there was like before... Now that the destruction of Gaza is underway, Voyage to Gaza has taken on another meaning. It signifies an impossible dream or a desperate cry"... Piero Usberti, July 18, 2024. The screening will be followed by an audience discussion.
