‘I must document everything’: the film about the Palestinian photographer killed by missiles in Gaza

Fatma Hassouna used poetry and photography to record the death and devastation she saw daily. Was she targeted by the IDF? We speak to the director of Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, a film about the journalist Israel has sought to pursue its campaign of annihilation against Gaza and its people behind closed doors. More than 170 Palestinian journalists have been killed so far, and no outside reporters or cameras are allowed in. The effects of this policy of concealment – which the Guardian managed to pierce this week with a shocking aerial photograph that made the front page – are to ensure that the outside world only catches sight of Gaza’s horrors in small fragments, and to stifle empathy for those trapped inside by hiding them from view, obscuring their humanity. But a new documentary film, Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, seeks to open a window to the unfathomable suffering inside Gaza.

Metro…In Dino’s ‘Zamaana Lage’ song launch: Anurag Basu reveals that unlike Life In A Metro, sequel is set in 5 cities; also adds, “Konkona Sen Sharma cried remembering Irrfan Khan in a scene”

Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, music director Pritam Chakraborty, singers Papon, Shashwat Singh and Raghav Chaitanya, director Anurag Basu and producer Bhushan Kumar attended the grand launch of the song ‘Zamaana Lage’ from Metro…In Dino. The film is a sequel to Life In A Metro (2007), which was also directed by Anurag Basu. It was set only in one city while the video of ‘Zamaana Lage’ makes it clear that that’s not the case with the sequel.

Anurag Basu was asked about it and he listed the cities shown in Metro…In Dino, Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and a little bit of Pune”. He added, “The story travels in all these cities. We are all connected today. There’s not much of a distance as such in today’s times. Also, our city also plays an important role in our lives, be it Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata etc. That’s how we have tried to show it in this film.”

Konkona Sen Sharma is the only actor to be a part of Metro…In Dino as well as Life In A Metro. In the earlier part, she was paired opposite the late Irrfan Khan. Konkona was asked if she and Anurag missed the legendary actor. Konkona said, “We were just discussing that zamaane toh lagega unko bhoolne ke liye na! It happened many times. I don’t want to get into what and when. When you’ll watch the film, you’ll know when!”

Anurag Basu, however, opened up, “There were many moments in the film when we missed him. We were shooting a scene and its tone was similar to the scene we had shot before. In the middle of the shoot, there was a silent moment. Me and Koko (Konkona) looked at each other and she started crying. I guess we should not go there now.”

He continued, “We miss him. We also miss K K, cinematographer Bobby Singh and art director Rajat Poddar; all of them were integral part of my team and are not there now. They would have been sitting here today.”

Metro…In Dino releases in cinemas on July 4.
