Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk12A
Told through video calls between an Iranian filmmaker and Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona, this documentary offers an intimate window into life under siege in Gaza. Just one day after the film was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, Fatma was tragically killed in an airstrike on her home. Blending raw immediacy with profound humanity, the film captures the everyday realities of a generation trapped in a cycle of war and survival.
Reviews
When [Fatma Hassona appears on the phone], the talk is of bombs, snipers, recently killed neighbours and relations. But also the stuff of life: coffee, her choice of hijab, poetry, optimism. Again and again, her grin fills the screen.’
★★★★
Danny Leigh, The FT
‘It’s the audacious austerity of Farsi’s film-making that really makes the material sing.’
★★★★
Leslie Felperin, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
