Mohamed Mesbah and Don Quichotte films present "Still Playing", a documentary about Palestinian game developer @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's quest to loudly tell his people's stories through games, in a world where the violent powers that be have decided his people cannot have a voice.

It was a true honor to give the keynote at DiGRA 2025 at the University of Malta.
The audience was deeply moved, some in tears and many asked: “What can we do to help Palestine?”
That question alone meant so much.
