Jonathan Romney Screen International Collating 21 vignettes of varying lengths, some as short as two minutes, this is a hugely revealing watch but not an easy one... Nevertheless, there is enough variety and nuance here to sustain a sobering yet often hopeful panorama. Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety 22 directors present cinematic diaries from Gaza, shot between (and sometimes during) IDF bombing raids. Each short is unique in its conception, and yet, is bound by a common resilience, and a need to document the violent interruption of life and routine. Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat From Ground Zero is a profound cinematic event, proving that movies can be made even on the edge of destruction. Rated: 9.5/10 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending From Ground Zero is comprised of 22 short films...Some are quite affecting. Some are very amateurish. The shorts tend to avoid politics or assessing blame... But the lack of any kind of discussion of history or responsibility is glaring. Rated: C- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
