A Palestinian Israeli Film Gets Nominated for Oscars 2025

The Palestinian-Israeli film 'No Other Land' has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2025 Academy Awards. 

The documentary has already received various accolades including top prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival, Gotham Awards, International Documentary Association and Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards.

The documentary follows the struggles faced by Palestinian journalist Basel Adra as he tries to protect his West Bank village Masafer Yatta from Israeli settlers.

Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham have co-directed the documentary. Despite being nominated for the Oscars, the documentary has yet to find a US distributor. The film has also achieved distribution in 24 countries including UK and France. 

'No Other Land' was the only film by an Arab filmmaker to be nominated for the 2025 Oscars. The shortlisted collection of films 'No Ground Zero' did receive a nomination for the  Best International Feature Film category.

Egyptian documentary 'Hollywoodgate' and Palestinian short film 'An Orange from Jaffa' did not reach the final nominations for the Oscars. 

'In the Shadow of the Cypress' by Iranian filmmakers Hossein Molayemi and Shirin Sohani was nominated in the Best Animated Short Film category.
