PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk is the filmmaker’s response to the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. Sepideh Farsi thinks that a miracle happened when she met Fatem Hassona. She became her eyes in Gaza, where she resisted while documenting the war, and Farsi became a link between her and the world, from her "Gaza prison," as she named it. They maintained this line of life for almost a year. The bits of sound and pixel that they exchanged became the film. The killing of Fatem on April 16th, 2025, due to an Israeli raid on her house, changes its meaning forever.

Sepideh Farsi, an Iranian director, experienced the revolution at 13, was imprisoned at 16 as a dissident, and left her native Iran at 18.
