Synopsis

In 1982, The Israeli army invaded Beirut. A film archive of the PLO's filming unit, containing hundreds of hours of raw materials, disappeared. ""SHALAL"" is a story of a lost Palestinian film archive, delving into three historical events captured in the footage. It is the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict-from a new viewpoint. The real war is a reel war, fought not with firepower but with access to historical records and visual archives.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
