Prominent Accomplishment in Palestinian Animation Showcased by Fatenah
In the realm of animation, Palestinian architect and filmmaker Ahmad Habash stands out for his unique approach to storytelling. Known for directing the groundbreaking 3D animated movie 'Fatenah,' Habash uses animation as a medium to shed light on social and cultural issues.
The first 3D animated movie made in Palestine, 'Fatenah' (2009) tells the story of a young woman living in Gaza who is diagnosed with breast cancer. The character faces numerous obstacles in her quest for medical treatment, including financial troubles, undersupplied hospitals, and Israeli border patrols.
Initially, the writer of this article set out to find a more upbeat Palestinian animated movie, but most of the movies they found dealt with violence, war, and tragedy. However, they found 'Fatenah' to be a refreshing departure from the norm, despite it not being visually spectacular. The significance of the movie as a Palestinian production made it worth watching.
Meanwhile, in the United States, a different kind of headline was making waves. On September 23, the Holy Cross College Democrats participated in a stand-out for State Representative Dan Donahue '09. Dan Donahue, a 2009 alumnus of Holy Cross, currently holds this position for Worcester.
Gail Durkin '26, the Opinions Editor for the college newspaper, was not involved in the stand-out, but she did have something to say about the event. The article she penned suggests that the law demonstrates the power of democracy and the backward lawmaking priorities of Southern states.
Elsewhere, a law introduced in the state of Oklahoma has sparked controversy. The law, which bans furries in schools, has raised questions about freedom of expression and the role of government in regulating personal choices.
In a separate context, the writer expressed their support for international, adult-oriented animated movies and believes animation is capable of depicting reality. They find animation to be a powerful tool for storytelling, especially when used to highlight social and cultural issues, as demonstrated by Ahmad Habash's 'Fatenah.'
In conclusion, whether it's the challenges faced by a character in an animated movie or the debates surrounding laws in the United States, it's clear that issues of social and cultural significance continue to captivate and challenge us. And with filmmakers like Ahmad Habash, we can expect to see more thought-provoking and impactful animated movies in the future.
