This April, Palestine Cuts presented Gaza On Screen, a three-day film festival curated by Nadia Yaqub, Professor and Chair in the Department of Asian Studies and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC Chapel Hill, showcasing films from Gaza. The program included screenings of 13 short and feature-length films, a masterclass with director Abdel Salam Shehada, a student film showcase and Q&A and an academic panel.
