In the organizer's words:

Special screening of the feature film "To a Land Unknown" by Mahdi Fleifel.

In cooperation with Seebrücke Würzburg. Followed by a presentation of a video statement by the actor Mouataz Alshaltouh.

Free admission, but seats must be reserved.

A run-down neighborhood on the outskirts of Athens, marked by crime and poverty: cousins Reda (Aram Sabbah) and Chatila (Mahmoud Bakri) struggle daily with the same plight as hundreds of thousands of other Palestinians - life as refugees. Bound by love and friendship, but also the burden of despair that haunts them across time and place, they struggle to escape their misery and secure a better future for themselves and the loved ones they have left behind. But is there even a way out for them? How can humanity be preserved when one is born into a life characterized by unceasing cruelty?

To a Land Unknown is an empathetic, moving and compelling exploration of the situation of Palestinians and what it means to be a stateless refugee in a world characterized by racist prejudice and social inequality. Renowned Danish-Palestinian filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel co-wrote his latest film with Moroccan-British screenwriter and filmmaker Fyzal Boulifa. The film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and won the Audience Award at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
