About this Event
Once Upon a Time In Gaza
By Tarzan & Arab Nasser

With: Nader Abd Alhay, Ramzi Maqdisi, Majd Eid

Gaza, 2007. Yahya, a young student, forges a friendship with Osama, a charismatic restaurant owner with a big heart. Together, they start peddling drugs while delivering falafel sandwiches, but they are soon forced to grapple with a corrupt cop and his oversized ego…


Press:

“Their latest work, Once Upon a Time in Gaza (…) does have a few things in common with Quentin Tarantino in its TV-show-within-a-movie plot”

The Hollywood Reporter


“Satirical, resonant follow-up to Gaza, Mon Amour”

SCREEN DAILY


“Great narrative freedom”

CINEUROPA


“A powerful ode to Palestinian resilience”
