Dunya Films presents: Tilka & Animations from Gaza

A Day in the Tent (4 mins)
My Grandfather’s Tales (2 mins)
TILKA (54 mins)

This screening invites viewers to reflect on how creativity endures in the most fragile and uncertain circumstances. Through these stories, we witness the transformative power of storytelling and performance to build community, nurture resilience and open spaces where people can imagine, dream and create beyond the limits imposed upon them.

TILKA is an an intimate portrait of five women who meet to create an original play with Seenaryo amid Lebanon’s collapse. The film weaves together each woman’s individual story with a collective narrative of displacement, motherhood and hope told through the play. It is Seenaryo’s debut documentary, directed by Myriam Geagea.

AC4Pal was created to support the work of Haneen Koraz, an animator based in Gaza who has been running animation workshops with displaced children and women across the region. Long before October 7th, Haneen was using animation to help children express their experiences. As the violence escalated, she has remained committed to her work in camps across Gaza.
