SUMMARY:Marketing the Occupation: Part Three - The Social Media Battleground in a Time of War
DESCRIPTION:Israel and pro-Israel advocacy groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on social media messaging to build “Brand Israel” and sway U.S. public opinion. Such campaigns have influenced elections\, inserted falsehoods into news cycles\, and intimated decision-makers into funding weapons for Israel. But there is resistance. For example\, Wikipedia has deemed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “a generally unreliable source” on the war in Gaza. Students assert their First Amendment rights\, protesting on campuses\, advocating for boycotts\, and sharing news directly from Gaza. What are the dimensions of this social media battle for the “hearts and minds” of the American public? \n  \nWatch the curated videos for free at your convenience. | Join the Q&A discussion with: \nOmar Zahzah – Assistant Professor\, AMED Studies\, San Francisco State University \nKatie Halper – Host\, “The Katie Halper Show” (WBAI); Co-Host\, “Useful Idiots” \nBryce Greene – FAIR Student Organizer\, Indiana University Bloomington \nMaya Berry – (Moderator) Executive Director\, Arab American Institute \n  \nRegister now:  Tinyurl.com/VFHL-January2025 \nWatch the trailer: https://tinyurl.com/VFHL-TrailerJanuary2025

SUMMARY:Movie: From Ground Zero at the Grand Illusion
DESCRIPTION:Shortlisted for Best International Feature for the 2025 Academy Awards\, FROM GROUND ZERO is an anthology project comprised of 22 short films created by filmmakers from Gaza. Launched by renowned Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi\, the initiative was created during the current 2023/2024 conflict and aims to provide a platform for young Palestinian artists to express themselves through their craft. \nEach film\, ranging in length from three to six minutes\, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave\, including the challenges\, tragedies\, and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction\, documentary\, docu-fiction\, animation\, and experimental cinema\, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow\, joy\, and hope inherent in Gazan life. \nDespite harsh filming conditions\, Gaza’s vibrant artistic scene shines through this stunning anthology film\, which offers an intimate and powerful portrait of daily life in modern-day Palestine – and the enduring spirit of its people. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles. \n“The fact that this film even exists seems miraculous… [From Ground Zero] aims to humanize\, to empathize\, to go beyond the headlines and geopolitics. It aims to convey the hopes and dreams of everyday people\, which persist even in dire circumstances.” Jennifer Green\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists \n“A powerful cry to the world that these filmmakers\, collaborators\, and people walking in the background are still there\, still living under worsening conditions\, and still need help. From Ground Zero is an unforgettable exhibition of the human spirit.” Monica Castillo\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\nSunday\, Jan 19\, 2025\, 3:15pm\nTuesday\, Jan 21\, 2025\, 7:15pm\nSaturday\, Jan 25\, 2025\, 4:15pm
