AT the El Gouna Film Festival, young Palestinian director Mohammed Almughanni won the Audience Award for his wonderful short film, An Orange From Jaffa. Born and raised in Gaza, Mohammed moved to Ramallah in the West Bank as a teenager. He then decided to study at Lodz film school in Poland, and to create stories about the communities living in the shadow of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
An Orange From Jaffa recalls his attempt to visit relatives in Jaffa.
