SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  Happy Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Want a discount on your ticket? Use code ARABISH51 for $3 when purchasing tickets! \nOscar® winner Scandar Copti (Ajami) is back with a new film about a middle-class Arab family in Israel and the impact of the country’s divisions on every aspect of their lives\, mundane and momentous alike. \nFouad’s business is in trouble\, which has plunged him into debt. This has major implications for his wife\, Hanan\, a woman very invested in maintaining the family’s social position\, especially in anticipation of their elder daughter Leila’s upcoming wedding. Son Rami has a different kind of problem. His Jewish Israeli girlfriend is pregnant\, but how would they raise a child in a country where their relationship must be kept secret? This question takes on a new urgency when the couple become the object of mysterious threats. Meanwhile\, younger daughter Fifi has a secret of her own. After a minor car accident\, she ends up in the hospital where her medical records\, including her sexual history\, come to light\, causing further upheaval for the family and Fifi herself. \nThis ensemble of characters (mostly played by non-professional actors) and their stories create a rare portrait of Arab and Jewish lives in Israel and the effects of social\, political\, and religious divisions on every aspect of those lives\, mundane and momentous alike. \nOther Showtimes: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHURSDAY\, MAY 22\, 2025 AMC Pacific Place\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:00 PM

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  Everybody Loves Touda
DESCRIPTION:Want a discount on your ticket? Use code ARABISH51 for $3 when purchasing tickets! \nIn the latest film from Nabil Ayouch (Horses of God\, SIFF 2014) co-written with his wife\, director Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan\, SIFF 2023)\, Touda dreams of being a sheikha\, or traditional Moroccan folk singer. More than that\, she is determined to be one\, which is fortunate because the road ahead is a rocky one. A single mother with a young son to support\, she sings at parties and in bars in her provincial town. But these opportunities are limited and fraught with risk\, as her male audience’s “love” often shades into something more proprietary and threatening. She sets her sights on Casablanca and\, leaving her son with her parents and ignoring the disapproval of her conservative brother\, she heads to the big city. There Touda meets an older musician\, a violinist who recognizes her ambition and her potential\, and becomes a sort of mentor. With his help\, she sets about to master the aita\, a Moroccan musical genre rooted in poetry about the many struggles of life\, from the personal to the political. As her singing improves\, she can command higher fees and a more elite audience. But in a culture where female performers are as often eroticized and stigmatized as venerated\, what does it really mean to be loved? \n  \nOther Showtimes: \n\n\nTICKETS\nSelect showtime for pricing and tickets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFRIDAY\, MAY 23\, 2025 \n\n\n\n\nSIFF Cinema Uptown \n8:30 PM

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  Moon
DESCRIPTION:Want a discount on your ticket? Use code ARABISH51 for $3 when purchasing tickets! \nSarah (played by provocateur performance artist Florentina Holzinger) is an Austrian professional MMA fighter who has just lost a career-ending fight. She’s tough\, with a face that shows her decades spent brawling\, and she doesn’t hesitate to accept a job offer that her friends and family believe is too good to be true: A wealthy Jordanian man has hired Sarah to be a private trainer for his three sisters\, who never leave the mansion without a bodyguard. But who is this family and why are they under constant surveillance? \nMoon is Kurdish-Austrian filmmaker Kurdwin Ayub’s thrilling sophomore feature\, following her award-winning debut film Sonne (SIFF 2023). Moon has already garnered several awards for its enthralling portrayal of a family in peril\, shown through the hardened eyes of a woman trying to navigate a life she doesn’t want. Ayub doesn’t give easy answers in this tense film that asks\, “How can you save others when you cannot save yourself?” \nOther Showtimes: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFRIDAY\, MAY 23\, 2025\, AMC Pacific Place\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 AM
