Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk (Arabic)

Köln 75 (German)

Featuring: Fatma Hassona Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk offers an intimate, firsthand perspective on life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls between director Sepideh Farsi and 24-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. Combining raw immediacy with deep humanity, the film captures daily life during the conflict through the eyes and unwaveringly optimistic presence of Fatma, a talented photographer whose generation is trapped in an endless cycle of war, famine, and resistance. Her conversations with Farsi bring us into the heart of the conflict, even while their physical distance underscores the dire situation inside Gaza. Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk is an essential document that now stands as a heartfelt memorial and final testament: Fatma and her family were tragically killed by a targeted Israeli airstrike on April 16, one day after the film was announced as a selection of the Cannes Film Festival.

Starring: Mala Emde, John Magaro, Michael Chernus Keith Jarrett’s legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn’t happen. Based on a true story, Köln 75 shows how the concert was conceived and orchestrated through the efforts of a teenage concert promoter, Vera Brandes. She enthusiastically organized the concert venue (the Cologne Opera House), promoted the event, and even sold the tickets. And after Jarrett threatened to drop out because his Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano was nowhere to be found, she convinced him to go on with the show. John Magaro (Past Lives) plays Jarrett with brilliant intensity, a counterpoint to Mala Emde’s joyful portrayal of the unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling, entertaining, and previously unknown backstory of Jarrett’s one-hour, entirely improvised masterpiece The Köln Concert, which became the bestselling solo album in jazz history.

Fantasy Celia discovered her talent for magic on the day her beloved oldest brother, Argent, left home. Furious at him for abandoning her in a war-torn land, she lashed out, not realizing her childish, angry words would become imbued with the power of prophecy, dooming him to a life without love. While Argent wanders the world, forced to seek only fame and glory instead of the love and belonging he truly desires, Celia attempts to undo the curse she placed on him. Yet even as she grows from a girl to a woman, she cannot find the solution, until she learns the truth about the centuries-old war between her own people and the summerlings, immortal beings who hold a relentless grudge against their mortal neighbors.
