Unmaking of, follows a Palestinian film crew inside an underground workshop in the West Bank, preparing a film set for a feature by Palestinian-American director Cherien Dabis (All That’s Left of You). As war unexpectedly breaks out in Gaza, the foreign crew evacuates, leaving the Palestinian team to navigate a country in conflict. Over the course of a week, the film intimately captures their moments of anxiety, anticipation, and reflection — exploring what it means to make art in a time of war.
