Wall is a Canadian animated documentary film, directed by Cam Christiansen and released in 2017.[1] Based on David Hare's theatrical monologue Wall, the film is a reflection on the Israeli West Bank barrier and its effects on peace in the Middle East.[2]
The film was originally announced in 2011 for a planned release in 2014,[3] but it was delayed and instead premiered at the 2017 Calgary International Film Festival.[1] It screened at the 2018 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, in competition for the Cristal for best feature film,[4] and was commercially released to Canadian theatres in 2018.[5]
In 2019 the film received a new screening in Calgary, alongside a talk about the Israeli-Palestinian border wall by writer Marcello Di Cintio.[6]
