Writing for RogerEbert.com, Robert Daniels said, "In the hands of these filmmakers the camera becomes a weapon for truth and resistance, and a tool for conservation — recording some proof that their village existed".
In August 2024, the film was selected for nomination to 37th European Film Awards to be held at Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern in Lucerne on 7 December 2024.
No Other Land had its world premiere on 16 February 2024, as part of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, in Panorama.
This year, the prize went to Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s No Other Land (Palestine/Norway), a film that unanimously fascinated the jury and “whose importance is simply evident”. Invited up on stage, the filmmakers called for an end to the Israeli occupation.
The film had its international premiere at Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival on 15 March 2024, in the section "Urgent Matters" and the "Conflicted" theme. It featured in the "Popular Front(s)" in the 46th Cinéma du Réel Festival that took place from 22 to March 31, 2024 in Paris.
The film was also presented in the International Documentaries section of the 71st Sydney Film Festival on June 13, 2024. It was also screened in 'Horizons' at the 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on 28 June 2024.
It was selected in TIFF Docs at 2024 Toronto International Film Festival where it was screened on September 12 2024. It will be screened in 'Showcase' at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival on 28 September 2024. It was also selected in Documentary Showcase at the 29th Busan International Film Festival and screened on October 3, 2024. It also made it to Main Slate of 2024 New York Film Festival and was screened at the Lincoln Center in October 2024.
The film was selected for the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 under the World Cinema section, where it was to have its South Asia premiere. However, its screenings were cancelled as the festival could not receive the 'required permissions' in time.
