Palestinian director Mohammed Khamis was granted the World Distribution Award as the best director for his film “Exit Visa”, a new feature film that depicts the suffering of the Palestinian family and their lives under the shadow of war and its devastation.
The film is directed by Mohammed Khamis, written by Enas Al-Hujjah and produced by Malik Rajab. The film deals with the story of a Palestinian family living in the besieged Gaza Strip and they are exposed to several situations in which they reflect their reality of living.
The film depicts the impact of deprivation, including deprivation from the right to education and happy childhood.
Mohammed fled Syria’s Khan Eshieh refugee camp, in Rif Dimashq, to the Lebanese city of Baalbek, before he headed for Egypt in 2013. He reached Sweden via Italy after he boarded the so-called Europe-bound “death boats”.
Hundreds of displaced Palestinian refugees in/from Syria have achieved success stories, despite the traumatic upshots wrought by the daily scenes of bloodshed and destruction across the embattled Syrian territories.
This includes scores of refugee students who have obtained the highest scores at their academic institutions; hundreds of refugee sportsmen/sportswomen who snatched the first places in regional and international competitions; dozens of artists who received renowned literary awards for their products and performances; and several housewives who turned trauma into a space of creativity.
