GAZA, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Hanin Kulab, a young Palestinian filmmaker from Gaza, is looking forward to showing her talents through the first ever feature film festival in the Islamic Hamas movement-ruled Gaza Strip.
Kulab, a 25-year-old female, produced her film "It was a dream" which will participate in the festival. The film talks about the Palestinian female prisoners in Israeli jails, and the pain and torment they suffer in prisons.
As her film was shown in one of the halls in Gaza city amid the applause of admired audience, she said that the festival is a golden opportunity for young filmmakers to show their creativity during the tough years in the Palestinian enclave.
The film festival, a rare opportunity for Gaza population due to the absence of movie theater in the strip, was inaugurated at the Women Affairs Center in Gaza city on Monday, and it focuses on enabling Palestinian women and supporting their cause. A total of 53 films from the Palestinian territories and other Arab and European countries joined the three-day event. more
