Yalla Parkour

Nostalgia draws filmmaker Areeb Zuaiter back to Gaza, where a childhood memory of her
mother’s radiant smile by the sea still lingers. After discovering a video of young parkour
athletes, she connects with Ahmed and wanders with him through Gaza’s fractured
landscapes, where joy and devastation coexist. As Ahmed shares the realities of life under
siege and his longing to leave, Areeb confronts her own questions of identity, belonging, and
the emotional cost of displacement.
