The Artist's Voice in Times of Crisis
Gitai, known for his works on social and political issues, confronted various forms of violence and their consequences for people's lives in the region at this festival.

This director, referring to war crimes and their human consequences, urged artists and filmmakers to take social responsibility in the face of such crises. He believes that artists should raise their voices in sensitive times and not worry about personal interests.
A Film as a Mirror of Reality
The film "The Way to Jericho" serves as a kind of mirror reflecting the harsh realities of the region. In this work, Gitai examines the challenges and problems that people face in their daily lives. Through this film, he aims to convey a deep and human message to the audience, a message that transcends borders and nationalities.
As war and violence in the Middle East have become one of the hot topics of the day, Gitai, by expressing his emotions at this festival, represents the voice of millions of people who suffer in these crises. This filmmaker reminds us that art can play a very effective role in changing mindsets and encouraging empathy.
