Oscar winning documentary to be screened in Laois

DUNAMAISE Arts Centre in association with Laois Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) will present an evening of cinema and solidarity with a special screening of ‘No Other Land’ — the 2025 Oscar Winner for Best Documentary Feature.

Created by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, ‘No Other Land’ tells the urgent and deeply human story of Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist documenting the mass expulsion of his community in Masafer Yatta by Israeli forces.

Spanning years of resistance and unlikely friendship, the film follows Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham as they navigate their shared fight for justice amid the brutal realities of occupation.

The screening on Tuesday 8 May at 8pm includes a small fundraiser in support of Gaza relief efforts. Organised by Laois IPSC, the evening will feature a raffle and a merchandise stall, with all proceeds and donations going directly toward providing urgent medical aid, food, and essential supplies to families affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Tickets are priced at €8/€5 concession and can be purchased from the Dunamaise Arts Centre website on www.dunamaise.ie or by phoning 057 86 63355.

Laois IPSC is a local branch of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign. It continues to advocate for Palestinian rights through education, awareness and action. The film screening is part of the group’s wider efforts to stand in solidarity and support those impacted by the conflict.

Join us for an evening of film and reflection — and help make a small difference on a local scale.
