‘They were a fleeting vision one night during the shooting of M. Beautiful. One of them told Selim Nassib in Arabic that she had walked from Gaza to become a transsexual in Tel Aviv. I called her La Belle de Gaza. With my camera, I looked for her everywhere.’ – Yolande Zauberman
In her latest work, Yolande Zauberman (winner of the 2020 César award for Best Documentary Film with M) tries to track down a mysterious trans woman who allegedly walked from Gaza to Tel Aviv, thus evoking the ever-present question of displacement and the layers of oppression faced by trans people in some parts of the world.
The screening on 3 December at 18.00 will be followed by a Q&A with Yolande Zauberman, moderated by director Sophie Fiennes
