SUMMARY:Second Intifada - 20 Years On: Film Series: Online
DESCRIPTION:The Second Intifada heralded a particularly fresh\, urgent and experimental approach to filmmaking\, in tune with the uprisings to which they contributed. Working at a distance from both the main political organizations and\, often\, the aesthetic insistences of Global Northern art cinema funding\, filmmakers took advantage of accessible technologies to forge new notions of freedom. The prolific body of work from this period does not just defiantly catalogue heightened colonial aggressions and appropriations\, it does so with a wit and eclecticism of approach that touched diverse audiences at home and internationally. \nFeaturing works by Ayreen Anastas\, Nahed Awwad\, Enas I. Al-Muthaffar\, Annemarie Jacir\, and Larissa Sansour

SUMMARY:Shall I Compare You to a Summer's Day? (Bashtaalak sa’at) [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\n\n\n\n(Mohammad Shawky Hassan\, Egypt\, Lebanon & Germany\, 2022\, 66 min\, in English and Arabic with English subtitles) \n** US premiere! Co-presented by Goethe Pop Up Seattle & Three Dollar Bill Cinema ** \nIn celebration of Seattle Pride\, we are proud to partner with Three Dollar Bill Cinema to present the US premiere of Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day\, the arty\, sensual\, and short first feature film by Egyptian video artist and filmmaker Mohammad Shawky Hassan. Imaginatively shot in blue-screen studios in Berlin\, Shall I Compare You is set in a time that is part tongue-in-cheek mythical past\, part relentlessly contemporary\, all queer\, and all Cairo. When our mistress of ceremonies (the Egyptian singer\, actor\, and powerful diva Donia Massoud) undertakes to tell the story of a queer romance\, she is diverted endlessly among the intersecting and diverging tales of the men of Club Scheherezade. This storybook Club is in an Egypt where gay and queer people can date\, kiss\, argue\, and hold hands without (or almost without) fear. The fact that this freedom must be fantastical is the determinedly cheerful movie’s sucker punch \nThe movie’s light tone belies an artistic seriousness of intent\, and the everyday intimacies of the men before the screen are given the weight of legend by fable-like chapter titles from the Arabian Nights and by song\, mostly decontextualized Egyptian pop\, sung earnestly by the men themselves or by Massoud.  Slyly carnal\, Shall I Compare You almost literally goes inside relationships\, hookups\, and the space between while finding wonderful opportunities for solidarity among its characters \nIn the film’s slippery\, giddily artificial structure\, Hassan employs what has been called a queer dramaturgy\, characterized by a subversive joy in digression and sexuality not unrelated\, perhaps\, to that of the original Arabian Nights. Shall I Compare You brings a gloriously peculiar perspective to a complex of relationships that are limned by Grindr\, tempted and troubled by polyamory\, and full\, always\, of sincerity and heart.
