In early May 2021, demonstrations by Palestinians protesting planned evic-tions from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem spread quickly to al-Aqsa Mosque and other parts of East Jerusalem where Israeli authorities had engaged in several provocative actions throughout the month of Rama-dan, including disabling the loudspeakers that broadcast the call to prayer, preventing worshippers from entering the mosque compound, and banishing Palestinians from gathering at the plaza in front of the Damascus Gate. In each case, Palestinian protests against these actions were met with police brutality and hundreds of arrests. On May 10, Hamas demanded that Israeli police and military leave Sheikh Jarrah and the mosque compound and that evening began to fire rockets into Israel from Gaza when Israel failed to do so. Israel immediately responded with airstrikes, initiating its fourth major military attack on Gaza since 2008. By the time a cease-fire was called eleven days later, 266 Palestinians and 13 residents of Israel had been killed (United Nations Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 2021). Thousands of Palestinians were wounded and tens of thousands displaced due to the widespread destruction of homes and other infrastructure.My social media newsfeeds quickly filled up with news reports, cell phone videos and photos, and solidarity statements. Among the material dissemi-nated to distant spectators of events on the ground there appeared information on accessing dozens of Palestinian films. Established Palestine film festivals, Palestinian and other Middle Eastern arts organizations, nongovernmental organizations (ngos), and individuals made works available online for free or for a small fee. Others created and circulated lists of films that were already available on YouTube or various streaming services. Everything from Elia Suleiman’s It Must Be Heaven (2019), a gentle meditation on exile, and Najwa Najjar’s social realist dramas to Kamal Aljafari’s experimental essays, as well as emergency documentaries related to previous Israeli attacks on Gaza was made readily available to anyone following events as they unfolded.
