SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - What Walaa Wants
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – What Walaa Wants (About Palestine)\nGrowing up in Balata\, a refugee camp in the West Bank\, Walaa dreams of being a police officer with the Palestinian National Authority\, the entity governing the Palestinian territories. This documentary follows her progress over five years\, from ages 15 to 21\, as she pursues that goal. She’s got her work cut out for her; rebellious and headstrong\, she is often at odds with those around her. She doesn’t adapt easily to the discipline of basic training or the tough love of her commanding officer. At home\, a complicated relationship with her mother poses its own challenges (she was 7 when her mother was sent to prison\, convicted of helping a would-be suicide bomber). And the outside world in which she lives her daily life is one of uncertainty\, repression\, and violence. But despite these obstacles\, Walaa is tenacious; she is charting her own path and struggling to follow it. With remarkable access to her subject at home\, at school\, and at work\, in interactions with family\, friends\, and colleagues\, filmmaker Christy Garland tells the story of a young woman determined to take charge of her life. \n— Justine Barda \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/what-walaa-wants \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 1:30pm \nTuesday\, June 4\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 9:30pm \nWednesday\, June 5\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 4pm

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Yommedine
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Yommedine (Egyptian director and About Egypt)\nBashay\, the protagonist of Yomeddine\, is that rare cinematic character you may never have seen onscreen before. A lifelong resident of a leper colony north of Cairo\, where he married and made a life as a garbage collector\, he decides one day to search for the family who left him there as a child. With his young friend Obama (like “the guy on TV”) and his donkey Harby\, Bashay sets out on his journey in a film that is part road movie\, part buddy comedy\, and part affecting neorealist drama. The bittersweet story is told with clear-eyed candor\, but also with sly humor and warm humanity. “Yomeddine” is Arabic for Judgment Day\, referenced here by characters who hope one day to be judged by their inner worth rather than their outward appearance. In this remarkable first feature\, director A. B. Shawky revisits the leper colony where he earlier made a documentary short\, and met Rady Gamal\, the charismatic non-professional actor who plays Bashay. Shawky’s documentary roots and Gamal’s performance both contribute to the film’s naturalistic style\, enhanced by Federico Cesca’s cinematography (Patti Cake$\, SIFF 2017 and Dead Pigs\, SIFF 2018). \n– Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nEgyptian/Austrian director A.B. Shawky met the lead actor for Yomeddine at an Egyptian leper colony that had been the subject of an earlier documentary short he made while a student in Cairo. He expanded the idea into a nonfiction film for his thesis for NYC’s Tisch School of the Arts. \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/yommedine \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 8:30pm \nMonday\, May 20\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 4:30pm
