The film “Between Two Worlds” continues its international journey, participating in the Culture Festival in Karachi, Pakistan, and the Toronto International Film Festival

SadaNews - The documentary film “Between Two Worlds” by Palestinian director Iyad Abu Ruk has been making a notable presence at international festivals, following its official selection for participation in the International Culture Festival in Karachi, in addition to reaching the final stage in the Global Culture Festival in Karachi, Pakistan, and participating this week in the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada. The film, produced by Rock Art Production, has a duration of 35 minutes and tells an affecting human story that intertwines memory and exile. The work follows the journey of a Palestinian director searching for his roots and an elderly Palestinian man living in Norway trying to reconcile his heart, which is stuck in Gaza, with his new life in Europe. At the intersection of their stories, the film becomes a mirror reflecting the impact of exile on the human being, and how the camera can reshape the relationship between the past and the present. The film has garnered attention from the international press, with several Pakistani outlets writing about its participation in the Nordic Europe Spotlight segment at the Global Culture Festival, praising its ability to present a deep visual narrative about identity, memory, and human resilience. Director Iyad Abu Ruk asserts that the film's participation in Karachi and Toronto marks a new step in his journey to convey the Palestinian human voice to the world, expressing his gratitude to the festivals that have allowed this work to reach a broader audience across continents. It is expected that “Between Two Worlds” will continue participating in upcoming international festivals, as the team seeks to deliver the film’s humanitarian and cultural message to the largest number of viewers.
