The project is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shashat.org\/?fbclid=IwAR1SyE74DKcMK7G6HYTBs6HSzLZDnRj-pDx_ERAQlAumD-yHiBPNgByIq88\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shashat Woman Cinema<\/a>, an NGO in Palestine whose work includes supporting up-and-coming filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cCovid 20\u201d project features documentaries filmed using cell phone cameras. The seven short films clock in at a combined 18:56 minutes and are available together on YouTube. Two of the directors are based in Gaza and three of them live in the West Bank. One is a student in the United States, and the other one is trying to leave Turkey for Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Fidaa Ataya\u2019s \u201cEmptiness\u201d portrays her in quarantine in New Hampshire, USA. She expresses an utter emptiness and misses her mother. In \u201cAppointment,\u201d Athar Jadili hesitates to take little girl to a clinic for a blood test. She finally decides to go, only to find the place closed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Routine\u201d sees Amjaad Habareeh afraid to become like a computer. All she does is send out and take in information, feelingless and concerned only with surviving. Maysa Alshaer\u2019s \u201cWhen is the Wedding!\u201d finds the filmmaker unable to perform even the simplest of tasks relating to her wedding, like choosing her dress or planning for the honeymoon. She ultimately questions: \u201cIs the wedding going to be or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Ala Desoki\u2019s \u201cMessages,\u201d night and day mesh into one. Turkey-based Feda Naser\u2019s \u201cImpossible Visit\u201d sees her anxious to visit her family back home with her young boy (<em>pictured<\/em>), whose only choice is to look at the world through the window.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Moment,\u201d by Dina Amin, is the film that features the director\u2019s face the most. She realized that before quarantine began, she was living life like a marathon. Self-isolating taught her a lesson on the value of life and family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCovid 20\u201d is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FrbTvYZP8aU&amp;t=68s&amp;fbclid=IwAR2zyVgp5-BltGiclGSwgtB-7iP5RMNDm89XA5v9oofGZCrNyQN3Cp5cB3o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube <\/a>(<em>see below<\/em>).
