Title

The Apollo of Gaza

Taglines

Overview

In 2013, a 2,000-year-old statue of Apollo was found near Gaza, only to disappear all of a sudden. Apollo, god of art, beauty and divinations, incites all sorts of rumors, even the craziest ones. The Apollo of Gaza is at once an inquiry and a meditation on history, plunging us into the barely known reality of a territory that is still paying the price of wars and a merciless blockade, but where life also subsists, undefeated. By bringing a little light to the sky of Gaza, the statue and its stupefying story could return some dignity and hope to all people.

Title

L'Apollon de Gaza

Taglines

Overview

En 2013, une statue d’Apollon datant de l’Antiquité est trouvée au large de Gaza avant de disparaître dans d’étranges conditions. Œuvre de faussaires ou bénédiction des dieux pour un peuple palestinien en mal d’espoir et de reconnaissance ? Bientôt, la rumeur s’emballe alors qu’en coulisse, différents acteurs locaux et internationaux s’agitent par souci de préservation ou pur mercantilisme. Tourné à Gaza et Jérusalem, L’Apollon de Gaza se déploie comme un film enquête lancé sur les traces de ceux et celles qui ont approché ou entendu parler de ce trésor national qui fait rêver et devient très vite l’objet de toutes les convoitises.
