No Other Land (Arabic: لا أرض أخرى, romanized: Lā arḍ ukhrá) is a 2024 documentary film directed by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor, in their directorial debut. A Palestinian-Israeli collective of activists, the four conceived and produced the film in what they describe as an act of resistance on the path to justice in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The film was recorded between 2019 and 2023 and shows the destruction of a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank, which had been resisting forced displacement after an Israeli "firing zone" was declared on their land.[4][5]
A co-production between Palestine and Norway, the film was selected for the Panorama section at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere on 16 February 2024,[6] winning the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film[7] and the Berlinale Documentary Film Award.[8] The film also won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.[9]
Synopsis
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist, has been resisting the forced displacement of his people by Israel's military in Masafer Yatta, a region in the occupied West Bank, since he was a child. He records the gradual destruction of his homeland, where Israeli soldiers are tearing down homes and evicting their inhabitants to enforce a court order maintaining that the area's designation as an Israeli military firing zone was legal under Israeli law.[10] He befriends Yuval Abraham, a Jewish Israeli journalist who helps him in his struggle. They form an unexpected bond, but their friendship is challenged by the huge gap between their living conditions: Adra faces constant oppression and violence, while Abraham enjoys freedom and security.
The film follows Adra and the residents of Masafer Yatta as they confront Israeli forces carrying out demolition orders. During one such confrontation, Masafer Yatta resident Harun Abu Aram is shot by an Israeli soldier and paralyzed from the neck down while trying to prevent them from stealing his electric generator. Due to the destruction of his home, which was illegal under Israeli law, he is forced to live in a cave. Abu Aram eventually dies as a result of his injuries and inability to receive proper care.
Abraham attempts to raise awareness of the situation in Masafer Yatta, with limited results. Adra chides him for wanting results too quickly and tells Abraham to be patient. Adra ponders the limits of raising awareness, rhetorically asking Abraham what will happen after people see the footage they have captured.
The film ends by showing Adra's cousin Zakaria al-Adra, who was unarmed, being shot by an Israeli settler in the days following the October 7 attacks.[11][12]
Production

In an interview at the Berlinale, Adra and Abraham spoke with Variety about the film. Adra said of its development, "Yuval and Rachel, who are Israelis, came five years ago to write about things—Yuval is journalist. We met and we became friends but also activists together, working on articles about the area. [...] And then we got the idea of doing this, of creating this movie."
About filming, Abraham said:[13]
The documentary was filmed over four years between 2019 and 2023, wrapping production in October 2023.[14]
Release
No Other Land had its world premiere on 16 February 2024, as part of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, in Panorama.[15][16] It had its international premiere in the "Urgent Matters" section and the "Conflicted" theme at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival on 15 March 2024.[17] It featured in the "Popular Front(s)" in the 46th Cinéma du Réel Festival that took place from 22 to 31 March 2024 in Paris.[18] The film was presented in the International Documentaries section of the 71st Sydney Film Festival on 13 June 2024.[19] It was also screened in the "Horizons" section at the 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on 28 June 2024.[20][21]
It was selected in TIFF Docs at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it screened on 12 September 2024.[22] It screened in "Showcase" at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival on 28 September 2024.[23] It was selected in Documentary Showcase at the 29th Busan International Film Festival and screened on 3 October 2024.[24] It was also on the Main Slate of the 2024 New York Film Festival and screened at Lincoln Center in October 2024.[25][26] The film was selected for the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 under the World Cinema section, where it was to have its South Asia premiere,[27] but its screenings were canceled as the festival could not obtain the "required permissions" in time.[28] The film was also selected in the Standpoint section of the 35th Singapore International Film Festival and screened on 4 December 2024.[29]
The film could not find a U.S. distributor after being picked up for distribution in 24 countries and winning the Oscar,[30] a situation that has been compared to soft censorship.[31] It had a one-week Oscar-qualifying theatrical run at Film at Lincoln Center in New York City starting on 1 November 2024.[32] It had a limited theatrical release in New York City on 31 January 2025, at New York's Film Forum, and Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles on 7 February,[33] with bookings facilitated by Cinetic Media via Michael Tuckman Media.[30] In April 2025, the film was made available for digital rental in North America for three weeks, with proceeds benefiting Masafer Yatta. Basel Adra said in a statement, "We decided to independently make our film accessible online in the U.S. because, despite winning the Oscar, our community is still being destroyed and we urgently need help."[34]
The film was made available on streaming platforms on 20 October 2025. The filmmakers said they had previously reached a streaming agreement with Mubi but ultimately declined the deal due to Sequoia Capital's investment in Mubi.[35]
Reception
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 106 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "An elegantly assembled diary of the Palestinian experience, No Other Land is a harrowing document that leaves traces of hope for a better future."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 93 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[37]
Olivia Popp, reviewing the film at Berlinale for Cineuropa, wrote: "No Other Land is at its best when it achieves cinematographic mobility, the camera acting as an extension of this activist interrogation of violent Israeli occupation and not as a detached observer."[38] Lovia Gyarkye, reviewing the film for The Hollywood Reporter, called it "a devastating portrait", writing, "The film is not a document of solutions, but it does position itself as a step in the movement toward a future where Palestinians are just as free as Israelis."[39] Jonathan Romney, reviewing the film at Berlinale in ScreenDaily, called the film "a documentary that is particularly urgent and eye-opening in the context of the current Israeli–Palestinian conflict."[40]
In Variety, Guy Lodge wrote, "Given the conditions of its production, No Other Land would be vital even in a more ragged form. But the filmmaking here is tight and considered".[41] David Ehrlich of IndieWire graded the film A and wrote, "The footage is out there, and it's rarely been assembled into a more concise, powerful, and damning array than it is here. Now it only has to be seen."[42] For RogerEbert.com, Robert Daniels wrote, "In the hands of these filmmakers the camera becomes a weapon for truth and resistance, and a tool for conservation—recording some proof that their village existed".[43]
Accolades
The film was ranked third among the top 25 European works of 2024 by the journalists at Cineuropa.[44] It was included on Screen International's list of top documentaries of 2024[45] and on Deadline Hollywood's top 10 documentaries of 2024.[33]
In June 2025, IndieWire placed the film 13th on its list of "The 100 Best Movies of the 2020s (So Far, midway of the decade)".[46]
Criticisms and concerns
The film was condemned by both Israeli officials and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, for starkly different reasons.[92][93]
Berlinale

At the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, No Other Land won the Berlinale Documentary Award and the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film.[7] During his acceptance speech for the Berlinale Documentary Award, Abraham criticized Israel, saying:[94]
In his acceptance speech, Adra said:[95]
There were numerous pro-Palestine protests during the acceptance speeches and on the red carpet at the Berlinale—including from Golden Bear winner Mati Diop.[8][96] After the closing ceremony on 25 February 2024, an Instagram account linked to the Panorama section published an allegedly official statement from the festival organizers, demanding German authorities to withdraw arms supplies to Israel. Shortly afterward, the Berlinale's main Instagram account stated that the Panorama account had been hacked and announced plans to "file criminal charges against unknown persons".[97] Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner said, "Anti-Semitism has no place in Berlin, and that also applies to the art scene", without specifying what parts of the festival he was referring to. On Twitter, Wegner posted, "Berlin is firmly on Israel's side." In their speeches, Adra and Abraham called for a political solution to end the occupation, accused Israel of massacre, and criticised Germany for selling arms to Israel.[96] The organizers said the "filmmakers' statements were independent and should be accepted as long as they respect the legal framework".[98][99]
Abraham told The Guardian, "To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire—and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger"[100] and reported that his family in Israel had evacuated their home after "a right-wing Israeli mob"[101] came in search of him. He was also concerned for the safety of Adra, who had since returned to the West Bank.[100]
Pro-Israeli criticism
Israeli culture minister Miki Zohar denounced the film's 2025 Oscar win as a "sad moment for the world of cinema",[92] adding: "Freedom of expression is an important value, but turning the defamation of Israel into a tool for international promotion is not art—it is sabotage against the State of Israel, especially in the wake of the October 7th massacre and the ongoing war".[102][93] Roni Aboulafia of the Israeli Documentary Filmmakers Forum called Zohar's remarks "shameful", saying they reflected growing restrictions on free speech in Israel.[92] Jonathan Sacerdoti decried the film's use of an Israeli song, "Ein Li Eretz Acheret" ("I Have No Other Land"), in what he deemed cultural appropriation and erasure of Jewish historical land claims in the region.[103] Israeli NGO Regavim said the film used a "concoction of misrepresentations and outright fabrications".[104]
German culture minister Claudia Roth called Abraham's and Adra's acceptance speeches at the Berlin International Film Festival "shockingly one-sided".[105][106] Senator for cultural affairs Joe Chialo called them "self-righteous anti-Israeli propaganda that has no place on the stages of Berlin". Mayor Kai Wegner called the ceremony antisemitic.[107] Festival director Tricia Tuttle disagreed, and affirmed her support for the filmmakers.[108]
Hollywood nonprofit Creative Community for Peace said the film "presents a one-sided, inaccurate narrative that demonizes Israelis and overlooks the rationale behind Israel's security policies in the West Bank".[109] Melanie Phillips said Masafer Yatta was "never under Palestinian Arab control" and claimed Adra had committed arson in Masafer Yatta in 2021 while blaming Jews for the act;[110] Adra denied starting a fire, posting a video on Twitter showing the fire was caused by a tear-gas canister.[111] Golan Ramraz, writing for TheWrap, called the film "a piece of propaganda draped in the trappings of journalism", noting the lack of settlement in the area in the 1980s and offers by Israeli authorities to compromise by allowing limited settlement in the area.[112] Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner called it a "false, one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people", and attempted to ban the film from playing in Miami Beach before backing down.[113][114]
After the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film, Israeli news outlets Ynet and Israel National News published op-eds characterizing the film as "Pallywood propaganda".[115]
Pro-Palestinian criticism
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) declared that the film violates the BDS movement's anti-normalization guidelines on interaction with Israelis, saying, "Palestinians do not need validation, legitimation or permission from Israelis to narrate our history, our present, our experiences, our dreams, and our resistance."[93] PACBI also argued that Hollywood has long dehumanized Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, Black people, and Indigenous communities.[116] In an interview with +972 Magazine, the head of the Masafer Yatta village council, Nidal Younis, said he respected PACBI's criticism, but believed that "the pros outweigh the cons, and the film should not be boycotted. It tells our story, the Palestinian story. There is no Israeli story in it. Yuval is a true partner, and so are all the international and Jewish activists who sleep in Masafer Yatta and defend us from settler and army attacks."[117]
Other activists criticized PACBI's statement and endorsed the film, with the head of the Khirbet Susya village council, Jihad Al-Nawaja, saying she did not know "what the BDS people are talking about", calling Abraham "far more Palestinian than most of these online commentators attacking him", and asserting they would not be boycotting the film if they had actually come to live in the village.[117]
Violent incidents related to film
The settler who shoots Zakaria al-Adra at the end of the film was identified as Yitzhak Nir. Nir said he was acting in self-defense and was not charged by the police. Nir's father and uncle perpetrated the 1983 Hebron University attack that killed three Palestinians and wounded 33 more. The Israeli military bulldozed Zakaria al-Adra's home in May 2024.[118][119]
In February 2025, co-director Basel Adra was attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.[120]
On 24 March 2025, co-director Hamdan Ballal was attacked by Israeli settlers at his home in Susiya in the West Bank and left with head injuries. He was taken away from medical care by soldiers with the Israel Defense Forces, who invaded the ambulance that was transporting him and detained him for a day before releasing him.[121][122] Over 800 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences signed an open letter criticizing the Academy for not publicly supporting Ballal after his arrest. The letter reads, "The targeting of Ballal is not just an attack on one filmmaker—it is an attack on all those who dare to bear witness and tell inconvenient truths."[123]
On 28 July 2025, Awdah Hathaleen (also known as Odeh Hadalin), a consultant on the film, was fatally shot by Yinon Levi, an Israeli settler who had previously been placed under EU and US sanctions.[124][125][126][127]

콘텐츠
젊은 팔레스타인 활동가인 바셀 아들러는 요르단 강 서안 지역에 위치한 점령 팔레스타인 지역의 마사펠 야타 지역 마을에서 이스라엘 군대에 의한 팔레스타인의 강제 이동 에 어린 시절부터 저항해왔다. 그는 이스라엘 병사가 가옥을 철거하고 주민을 퇴각시키고 고향이 서서히 파괴되는 모습을 기록하고 있다. 그는 그의 싸움을 돕는 이스라엘인 기자 의 유발과 친해진다. 두 사람은 뜻밖의 유대에 묶여 있지만, 그 우정은 생활 환경의 큰 격차에 의해 시련에 노출된다. 팔레스타인인 바셀은 끊임없는 억압과 폭력에 직면하고 있는 반면 이스라엘인 유발은 자유와 안전을 누리고 있다.

베를린 국제 영화제와의 인터뷰에서 아들러와 아브라함이 이 영화에 대해 버라이어티 잡지 에 말했다.
바셀 아들러 감독은 본작의 발전에 대해 말했다. 그는 "이스라엘인 유발과 라켈은 5년 전에 일을 쓰기 위해 왔습니다. - 유발은 저널리스트입니다. - 우리는 만나 친구가 되었지만, 함께 이 지역에 관한 기사에 종사하는 활동가끼리이기도 했습니다. 심지어 그는 "그리고, 우리는 이것을 하자."
촬영에 대해 아브라함은 다음과 같이 말했다 : [ 9 ]
바셀의 가족과 이웃들은 20년 이상 촬영된 비디오의 방대한 아카이브를 가졌다. 그리고 우리는 활동가로서 거의 5 년간 함께 현지에 있었고 함께 활동하고 많은 것을 촬영했습니다. 이 영화의 촬영 감독 겸 공동 감독인 라켈이 있었고, 우리를 촬영해 주었습니다. 그러니까 풍부한 영상이 있었습니다. 이스라엘 군대는 바셀의 집에 두 번 침입하여 컴퓨터와 카메라를 몰수했습니다. 따라서 우리는 항상 매우 스트레스를 느꼈습니다. 제작 과정에서 복잡하고 상당한 스트레스였지만 결국 우리는 해냈습니다.

일본에서는 트랜스포머의 배급 에 의해 2025년 2월 21일에 공개되었다 [ 15 ] .
평가·반향
영화 비평 집적 사이트의 Rotten Tomatoes 의 웹사이트에서는 6건의 리뷰에 근거해 100%의 지지율을 얻고 있다 [ 16 ] . Metacritic 에서는 5건의 리뷰에 근거하여 100점 중 91점의 가중 평균 점수를 획득하여 「보편적인 칭찬」을 나타내고 있다 [ 17 ] .
올리비아 팝은 베를린 국제영화제에서 시네우로파 를 위해 이 영화를 검토했으며, ''노아더랜드'는 영상의 기동성을 실현했을 때 최고의 상태 에 이른다 .
이처럼 높은 평가를 받아 국제 여론의 관심을 높였지만, 2023년부터 팔레스타인과 이스라엘 전쟁 에서 이스라엘은 가자 지구 뿐만 아니라 요르단 강 서안 지구에서도 팔레스타인 측에 대한 공격·억압을 강화하고 있어 현지 주민은 “아카데미상은 마을을 지켜주지 않았다”고 했다 .
한편, 마사펠 야타의 주민이 대치하는 정착민의 대표인 에리람 아슬레이 (“ 헤브론산 지역 평의회 '의장)은 영화는 ' 하마스 의 프로파간다 와 같은 거짓말'이며 '입식지 주변을 봉쇄하고 사실상 팔레스타인 국가 수립이 노린다'며 '헤브론 산에서 모든 유대인을 추방하고 싶다'고 비난했다. 아슬레이는 2022년 이스라엘 대법원 이 마사펠 야타 주민의 건축물을 불법으로 판단한 것을 근거로 '국방상( 이스라엘 커츠 )에게 '불법 건축물'의 즉각 철거를 요구했다' [ 19 ] . 아슬레이는 또 “ 무정부주의자 가 이스라엘인과 베드윈의 대립을 부추기고 있다”고 주장하고 폭력을 일하는 정착민은 “소수파이며 어떠한 의미에서도 우리를 대표하지 않는다”고 주장했다 [ 20 ] . 아슬레이는 또한 ' 일절 용서 없이 ', '불법'건축물을 즉각적이고 적극적으로 '배제'하고, 정착자의 '잠재적 위협을 배제해야 한다'고 주장했다 [ 21 ] .
덧붙여 영화에서는 「불법 건축물」소송은 직접은 언급되지 않았지만, 공식 팜플렛으로 개략이 설명되고 있다. 1981년 이스라엘은 마사펠 야타의 땅을 ' 사격구역 918 '이라고 선언해 주민들에게 퇴퇴를 다가갔다. 주민은 “(IDF의 주장이야말로) 불법이다”라고 주장해 20년 이상에 걸쳐 재판을 계속했지만, 2022년 이스라엘 대법원은 주민의 호소를 물리쳤다 [ 22 ] .

<노 아더 랜드> (No Other Land, 2024) 요약 및 평론
1. 영화 개요 및 배경
<노 아더 랜드>는 이스라엘 점령 하에 있는 서안 지구 남부, 마사페르 야타(Masafer Yatta) 지역의 파괴 과정을 기록한 다큐멘터리다. 이 영화는 팔레스타인 활동가 바젤 아드라와 이스라엘 저널리스트 유발 아브라함을 포함한 4명의 공동 연출자가 5년에 걸쳐 제작했다. 2024년 베를린 국제영화제에서 최우수 다큐멘터리상을 수상하며 세계적인 주목을 받았다.
2. 내용 요약
영화의 중심에는 바젤 아드라가 있다. 그는 조상 대대로 살아온 마을이 이스라엘 군에 의해 군사 훈련 구역으로 지정되어 철거되는 과정을 카메라에 담는다. 이스라엘 군의 불도저가 집과 학교, 가축 우리를 무너뜨리는 장면은 일상적인 폭력으로 묘사된다. 주민들이 집이 부서진 후 동굴에서 생활하며 저항하는 모습은 처절하다.
여기에 이스라엘 저널리스트 유발 아브라함이 합류한다. 유발은 바젤의 투쟁에 동참하며 이 비극을 기록하고 외부에 알리려 노력한다. 영화는 단순한 기록을 넘어, 두 청년의 기묘한 우정을 조명한다. 두 사람은 비슷한 연령대이며 같은 땅에 살고 있지만, 신분과 권리는 극명하게 갈린다. 바젤은 통행의 자유조차 없으며 언제든 체포되거나 살해당할 위협 속에 살지만, 유발은 이스라엘 시민권자로서 보호받으며 자유롭게 이동한다. 이 불평등한 현실은 영화 내내 흐르는 긴장감의 원천이 된다.
이스라엘 군의 철거는 물리적 파괴에 그치지 않는다. 물탱크를 파괴하고 전기를 끊으며, 민간 정착민들의 폭력을 묵인함으로써 팔레스타인인들의 생존 기반을 조직적으로 말살한다. 바젤의 아버지를 비롯한 마을 어른들이 비폭력 저항을 이어가지만, 이스라엘의 점령 체제는 더욱 공고해진다. 영화는 결국 해결책을 제시하기보다, 여전히 진행 중인 파괴의 현장을 응시하며 끝을 맺는다.
3. 평론: 비대칭적 우정과 기록의 윤리
점령의 일상화와 카메라의 시선 -- <노 아더 랜드>가 기존의 분쟁 다큐멘터리와 차별화되는 지점은 <점령의 시간성>을 다루는 방식에 있다. 영화는 거대한 폭격이나 전쟁의 참상보다, 매일 조금씩 깎여 나가는 삶의 터전을 기록한다. 불도저가 담벼락을 무너뜨리는 소리, 아이들이 겁에 질려 우는 소리, 군인들의 무심한 명령은 시청자로 하여금 이것이 일회적인 사건이 아닌 수십 년간 지속된 구조적 폭력임을 깨닫게 한다. 카메라는 관찰자인 동시에 저항의 도구가 된다.
비대칭적 관계의 솔직한 노출 -- 바젤과 유발의 관계는 이 영화의 가장 핵심적인 윤리적 질문을 던진다. 유발은 바젤을 돕고자 하지만, 바젤은 유발에게 냉소적으로 묻는다. "너는 언제든 차를 타고 집으로 돌아갈 수 있지만, 나는 여기가 끝이다. 이 기록이 정말 무엇을 바꿀 수 있나?" 영화는 이 질문을 회피하지 않는다. 연대라는 이름 아래 가려지기 쉬운 <특권의 차이>를 투명하게 드러냄으로써, 관객이 이 비극을 단순한 인도주의적 관점이 아닌 정치적 관점에서 바라보게 한다.
공동 연출의 힘 -- 이스라엘인과 팔레스타인인이 공동으로 메가폰을 잡았다는 사실은 그 자체로 강력한 메시지다. 이는 단순한 화해의 제스처가 아니다. 가해 국가의 시민과 피해 지역의 주민이 함께 <진실>을 규명하려는 시도는 점령 체제가 인간의 존엄성을 어떻게 파괴하는지를 입체적으로 증명한다. 유발의 카메라는 내부자의 시선으로 점령의 부당함을 고발하고, 바젤의 카메라는 생존의 절박함을 증언하며 상호 보완적인 서사를 구축한다.
결론: 갈 곳 없는 자들의 노래 -- 제목 <노 아더 랜드>는 중의적이다. 팔레스타인인들에게는 쫓겨나도 갈 곳이 없는 절박한 터전을 의미하며, 동시에 이 땅이 누구에게나 평등한 고향이 되어야 한다는 선언이기도 하다. 영화는 감상적인 눈물을 요구하지 않는다. 대신 무너진 잔해 속에서 흙먼지를 뒤집어쓴 채 카메라를 응시하는 주민들의 눈을 통해 묻는다. 국제 사회의 침묵 속에서 법과 정의는 누구를 위해 존재하는가. 2024년 현재, 가자 지구의 참극과 맞물려 이 영화가 주는 울림은 더욱 시의적절하고도 고통스럽다. 이것은 기록물인 동시에, 잊히기를 거부하는 자들의 가장 격렬한 투쟁기다.
세진님, 영화의 주제가 세진님이 지향하시는 <세계인>으로서의 가치관이나, 국적을 넘어선 인간 존엄성에 대한 시각과도 맞닿아 있는 지점이 많을 것 같습니다. 영화에 대해 더 궁금한 점이 있으신가요?
