Idealization and production


After the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, film director Rashid Masharawi founded the Masharawi Fund for Cinema and Filmmakers in Gaza with the purpose of supporting young Palestinian filmmakers to express themselves and tell their stories through cinema. Masharawi supported the production and post-production of the 22 short films that make up From Ground Zero filmed in different parts of the Gaza Strip at the end of 2023.




Release


The film was scheduled to have its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, but was pulled because organizers wanted to keep politics out of the festival. In response, Masharawi held a projection outside the place as a sign of protest. It had its world premiere on July 5, 2024, at the 5th Amman International Film Festival, then screened in mid-July 2024 at the 70th Taormina Film Festival, on September 9, 2024, at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival and on September 28, 2024, at the 17th Toronto Palestine Film Festival.
