HOLDING LIAT goes beneath headlines to offer an intimate window into one family's experience.

We have been so moved by the way audiences have responded to the film's nuances & complexity. This is just a small sample of reflections from audiences after our Tribeca premiere.

A family's loyalty to progressive ideals amid a crisis takes center stage in HOLDING LIAT, profiled in a great
@theguardian.com piece by @julianborger.bsky.social

HOLDING LIAT is screening as 1 of 6 films chosen for the prestigious DOC NYC Winner’s Circle for docs that have already been awarded at major festivals. After winning the top doc award at Berlinale, HOLDING LIAT has won awards at the
Hamptons Film Fest & @hsdff.bsky.social recently.

"You can have empathy for all people who are affected by this conflict."

Thank you @variety.com for this piece about how HOLDING LIAT is breaking paralysis in dialogue, & capturing the desire of so many that things get better, not just a return to status quo.

HOLDING LIAT started with filmmakers Brandon & Lance Kramer witnessing & documenting their relatives confronting a crisis. But what unfolded was a more layered & complex story.

See HOLDING LIAT at @docnycfest.bsky.social t this week as part of the Winner's Circle program.

When you're making a film about people directly impacted by a global crisis, sometimes the most important thing is to show up & be present without a camera.

Award-winning filmmaker Carol Dysinger reflects with director Brandon Kramer on walking these fine lines.

Hope. Anger. Faith. Sadness. Healing. At a recent HOLDING LIAT screening, Arab Aramin reflects on the way he relates emotionally to Liat, as his own healing journey to make peace with himself and talk to the other side continues after his 10 year old sister Abir was killed by an Israeli soldier.

Liat's uncle, Middle Eastern history Professor Joel Beinin, featured in HOLDING LIAT, recently spoke with #AmyGoodman on @democracynow.org, where he reflected on his concerns about the future of the region, his care & concern for his family, even when their politics diverge.
