Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona's death in Gaza prompts tributes and controversy at Cannes film festival

ai generated text

The articles describe the story of Fatma Hassona, a 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on her home in northern Gaza. Hassona had expressed a desire for a "loud death" that would bring attention to the situation in Gaza, and her death occurred just before the screening of a film about her life at the Cannes Film Festival. The film's director, Sepideh Farsi, has stated that Hassona's death is proof that she had been targeted, and the film's premiere at Cannes served as a tribute to Hassona's memory, with actress Juliette Binoche paying tribute to her.

    1. Now that she's been taken away from us, I will do what I can with this film, her pictures, her poems and her words.
    2. I hoped she would be here with me so we could make some noise together.
    3. Just like there was no justification for what happened on October 7, nothing can justify what is happening in Gaza.
    4. Two missiles fired from a drone sliced through her building and exploded on the floor where Fatma lived, as they had been programmed to do.

    1. Art is the truth. Art embraces diversity. And that's why art is a threat to the autocrats and the fascists of the world.
    2. America's philistine president has had himself appointed head of one of America's premier cultural institutions. He has cut funding and support to the arts, humanities and education. And now he has announced a 100% tariff on films made outside the United States. You can't put a price on connectivity.

    1. I don't want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group.
    2. They cannot defeat us, because we have nothing to lose.
    3. I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.
