"Voice of Hind Ragab" wins the Silver Assad Award at the Venice Festival
The movie "Voice of Hind Ragab" by Tunisian director Kawthar Ben Haniyeh won the Silver Assad Award at the Venice Festival.
The film was Gaza with a hot applause that lasted for 23 minutes after its first show at the Film Festival, and this is considered a record.
Director Kawthar bin Haniyeh recounts the story of the six -year -old Hind Ragab, who was killed with her cousin, heritage, uncle and two paramedics who were trying to help them after the Israeli forces shot their car in Gaza City in January 2024.
Film festivals are famous for applauding the prolonged audience, but this applause appears to have exceeded the 22 -minute applause period for the movie "Ban Ban" at the Cannes Festival in 2006.
A number of Hollywood stars joined the film, last week, as executive producers, including Joaquin Phoenix, Ronnie Mara, as well as Brad Pitt, Alvonso Cuaron and Jonathan Glizer.

Phoenix and Maara were present at the photography session in Venice, and they also participated in the first show full of emotions on Wednesday, as the team raised the image of the late girl Hind Ragab and the Palestinian flag during the hot applause.
Shortly after the incident in which Hind, its relatives and the paramedics were killed, the Israeli army announced that the initial investigation showed that "its soldiers were not among those who fired on the car," and later, a spokesman for the army stated that an "additional investigation" was continuing, but no results were announced yet.
The Israeli army launched an operation in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and detaining 251 hostages.
While at least 64,231 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the Strip.
"Each daughter's voice"
At the press conference held in Venice to announce her new movie, actress Saja Kilani and the staff were received with great hospitality.
Kilani told reporters: "Enough of collective and starving, insulting humanity, destruction, and continuous occupation."
She added: "This film is not an opinion or imagination, but rather a refurbished reality. Hind story carries the weight of an entire people. Her voice is one of the tens of thousands of children who have been killed in Gaza only during the past two years.
On Saturday, the city of Venice witnessed a major protest demonstration on the Lido Beach in support of the Palestinians and the condemnation of Israeli practices in Gaza.
Tunisia presented the film of director Kawthar Bin Haniyeh to officially represent it in the award for the best international movie at the upcoming Oscars, and it is expected that it will be one of the most prominent films competing for the award.
Last year, Ben Haniyeh was nominated for the Academy Award after her movie "Four Girls" entered the short list of the best documentary. In 2021, her movie "The Man who sold his skin" was nominated in the category of international films.
"The urgency tears the heart"
In a review of the "Deadline" website, Damon Wise described the film as "very important", and said that "it may be the spark that the supporters of the Palestinian cause are awaiting; a work that uses cinematic means such as the clips of the portable camera, and the camera is moving, to deliver his message."
Gay Lodge of Varietti magazine praised "overwhelming drama" with some notes. He wrote: "It is impossible not to be affected by the realistic audio recording, which constitutes the essence of the movie Kawthar Bin Haniyeh, but some doubts arise about the ethics of work and the way of its implementation."
"The interesting drama dives into the Gaza war with a painful human sense that tears the heart."
Until the first show on Wednesday, Mexican director Jermo del Toro kept the record for the longest hot applause at a cinematic festival.
In an interview with "GQ" magazine last year, he revealed that he was feeling stunned by that experience.
The director said: "It is difficult to describe what is happening when applause continues for a long time, because the first three or four minutes are steeped in a state of assimilation and joy." He added: "After ten minutes, you don't know what to do, just smile and shake your head."
Dwayne Johnson was recently seen crying during the 15 -minute applause for his movie "The Sming Machine" at the Venice Festival.
