From Ground Zero is a project featuring 22 short films by Gaza-based filmmakers. Launched by Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi, the initiative was born in the context of the new conflict with Israel that erupted after the October 7, 2023, attacks. It aims to offer young filmmakers the opportunity to express themselves through their work.
