Contributors to \u003ci\u003eGaza on Screen\u003c\/i\u003e, who include scholars and Gazan filmmakers, explore the practice, production, and impact of film and videos from and about the Gaza Strip. Conceptualizing screens--both large and small--as tools for mediation that are laden with power, the volume explores Gazan film and video in relation to humanitarianism and human rights, care, community, environment, mobility and confinement, and decolonization. The volume includes visual material ranging from solidarity broadcasts on Lebanese television, mid-twentieth-century British Pathé newsreels, and fiction films to breaking news, visuals of contemporary militant resistance, documentaries, and found footage films, arguing for a visual ecosystem in which differing types of film and video affect and inform each other. Throughout, \u003ci\u003eGaza on Screen \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that screens shape and sustain relationships between Gaza and the world, and help to sustain the possibility of a different future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
