Striplife

Striplife presents a snapshot of life in the Gaza Strip as fishermen flock to the beach to collect the stranded manta rays. The film captures not only the immediate reaction to this unusual occurrence but also the daily life of the city as it begins to awaken.

Antar, one of the central figures, is motivated by the day’s excitement, as he prepares to record his first disk in the afternoon. The runtime of 64 minutes allows for a focused exploration of these intertwined narratives, highlighting both the challenges and aspirations of those living in this region. Zambelli's direction brings a poignant look at how unexpected events can shape the rhythms of life in Gaza City.
