‘Palestinian Unwanted’ takes place after 7 October 2023 and the ongoing catastrophe in Gaza – a reality unfolding on screen, accompanied by broad political support in the West. Told from the personal perspective of Danish-Palestinian film director Omar Shargawi, we follow his involvement in the Palestinian movement in Denmark. Together with other activists, he confronts politicians and the media and turns his attention to Denmark’s role – from political support and arms exports to a public discourse characterised by silence, one-sidedness and the demonisation of Palestinians.

Except that it took over 60 years to realize, and its name (Tirrenica) became synonymous with the areas it would connect – from the outskirts of Naples to Salerno – for all the wrong reasons, while also exposing the structural pathologies of the Italian state like no other, effectively confirming the narrative of a “country of two speeds.”
Marpissa is a village in the Aegean Sea that celebrates Easter in its own unique way: On Good Friday, all daily routines come to a halt as eleven scenes from the Passion of Christ are brought to life by villagers portraying figures such as Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Pontius Pilate.
