Overview

  • Kaouther Ben Hania’s film premiered in competition at the 82nd Venice festival to an unusually long standing ovation, with audience chants of “Free Palestine” reported after the screening.
  • The drama reconstructs the January 29, 2024 events using the child’s actual emergency-call audio with her mother’s consent, staged inside the Palestinian Red Crescent dispatch center.
  • The Palestinian Red Crescent says an ambulance sent to help was fired upon during the attempt, while the Israeli army says the incident is still under review.
  • Executive producers include Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Alfonso Cuarón and Jonathan Glazer, with Phoenix and Mara in attendance at Venice.
  • Tunisia selected the film as its international Oscar submission, and reporting indicates North American distribution has yet to be finalized.
