The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston screens ‘A Gaza Weekend.’
Israel is sealed off after the outbreak of a deadly virus and Gaza has become the safest place in the region, leaving a British journalist and his Israeli girlfriend stuck there. With no one else to turn to, they entrust two Palestinian street merchants who promise a way out, if the price is right. This hilariously irreverent satire was directed by Basil Khalil, a British-Palestinian, Oscar-nominated filmmaker who wrote the story years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
