Overview
Vibrations from Gaza offers a glimpse into the experiences of Deaf children in the occupied and confined coastal territory of Gaza, Palestine. Born and growing up under siege and frequent Israeli onslaughts, Amani, Musa, Israa, Mustafa, and others provide vivid accounts of their encounters with Israeli frequent bombardment and the constant presence of drones in their sky. The children describe their perceptions of missile strikes through sensing vibrations in the air, trembling of the ground, and the resonance of collapsing buildings.
Screened as part of BFI London Film Festival 2024 Shorts programme Wondering, Wandering.
