The trajectories of Palestinian and Israeli cinema have diverged sharply since 7 October and the subsequent war in Gaza.
While Palestinian stories have gained unprecedented global visibility, culminating in the Oscar win for No Other Land in 2025 and the nomination of The Voice of Hind Rajab this year, Israeli films have, by contrast, faced increasing barriers to circulation.
Many have been sidelined by festivals and distributors amid growing discontent that has, in some cases, taken the form of an informal boycott.
Films supported by state-backed institutions, such as the Israel Film Fund, have come under heightened scrutiny from international bodies, often wary of criticism from pro-Palestinian groups and human rights organisations.
