Storyline

This film is "the opposite of a combat description. It's a combat." This is how the author speaks, in an explicit reference to Marker's film, of this urgent film for Palestine. Alberte Pagán presented a short and urgent film denouncing the situation of the Palestinian people. A film that recovers the maximum actuality of these days, the population of Gaza submitted to the attacks of the Israeli army, which caused more than a few deaths. The images of Urgent Film for Palestine were shot in 2011 in the occupied territories and tell the story of Dionísio Pereira in his Galician version. As its author, referring to Chris Marker, says, this film is "the opposite of a description of a combat, it's a fight (translated from https://praza.gal/) Shocked by what he observed during his visit to the Palestinian territories, he considered it urgent to make this testimony known. Moved by the dramatic and, at the same time, heroic situation in which its population lives, he made this film in homage to an occupied Palestine and an occupied people. He did it for the right to life under occupation, for the occupied territory, for the freedom under occupation, for the millennial history of the land of the olive trees where Jesus was born under occupation, for the right to pray under occupation, for a future vainly occupied. This is a film about the indignation, the pain, the despair, the epic rebellion towards a lawless occupation. It is the testimony that shows a desperation contained in line with the courage of a people who resist mortgaging their future. The story of these events, which are added to many others that over decades reflect the situation of a country that resists with admirable heroism the vicissitudes to which history has so unjustly subjected them, motivates the Chilean Palestinian institutions to support this noble cause, to which the Bethlehem 2000 Palestinian Foundation is committed since its inception for the education and health of their children.
