Release Hamdan Ballal’s family members!

Devastated about the terrible violence against our colleague Hamdan Ballal and his family, the European Film Academy calls onto the Israeli authorities to immediately and unconditionally release the family members of Palestinian director Hamdan Ballal and to make sure they are safe.

According to a statement published by co-director Basel Adra on Instagram, Hamdan Ballal, co-director of NO OTHER LAND, was again attacked by violent Israeli settlers in his house in the West Bank.

When the director’s brother called the police, the army arrived and immediately raided the house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of his brothers, a nephew, and a cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital.

Hamdan Ballal is one of four co-directors of the documentary NO OTHER LAND which premiered at the Berlinale in 2024 where it the festival’s documentary prize. The film received the European Documentary Award at the European Film Awards 2024 and continued to win an Oscar.

The European Film Academy is worried about the physical and mental well-being of Hamdan Ballal and his family. We cannot accept a reality in which artists are threatened, detained, attacked or killed for documenting human rights violations. We call onto the Israeli authorities to immediately and unconditionally release them. We encourage all film and culture institutions around the world to do the same.
