A haunting film about Gaza, Put Your Soul on Your Hands and Walk takes the form of a dialogue conducted through video communications between the filmmaker and a Palestinian photographer. The latter’s death, killed in a bombing, brings the narrative to an abrupt end. The documentary, a “cinematographic tribute to how photography bears witness” writes Claudia Polledri, sheds light on the realities of daily precarity. The technological disruptions, the critic notes, mirrors the protagonist’s living conditions.
