SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  Coexistence\, My Ass!
DESCRIPTION:Want a discount on your ticket? Use code ARABISH51 for $3 when purchasing tickets! \nComedy about Israel and Palestine is a high-wire act and perhaps never more so than now\, which is part of what makes this documentary about Israeli comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi so riveting. With an Iranian-Jewish mother and an Ashkenazi Romanian father\, Noam grew up in Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam\, an intentional community where Arab and Jewish families live together by choice\, and where her left-wing parents moved the family in the early 1990s. \nA committed activist for equal rights for Palestinians and Jews—as she explains\, coexistence can only exist between equals—she studied International Relations at Brandeis before taking a job at the United Nations. When she was invited by Harvard to work on a peace project\, she chose to develop her one-woman show\, “Coexistence\, My Ass!” Shooting on the film began in 2020 and tracks the show’s progress through COVID and Noam’s growing fame\, as well as Noam’s own navigation of the attacks on October 7th\, their impact on her friends and family\, and the subsequent war on Gaza. \nConsistent through it all is Noam’s clear-eyed insight—sometimes funny\, sometimes deadly serious\, sometimes both at the same time. Winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression. \nOther Showtimes: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, MAY 25\, 2025\, SIFF Cinema Uptown\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 AM

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  To A Land Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Want a discount on your ticket? Use code ARABISH51 for $3 when purchasing tickets! \nMahdi Fleifel\, who made the great documentary A World Not Ours (SIFF 2013) about the Ein el-Helweh refugee camp in Lebanon\, where his parents were born\, returns to the Festival with his fiction debut\, To a Land Unknown. \nThe refugees in this story have made out of their camp and travelled to Athens\, where they are stranded en route to Germany. Chatila is clever and resourceful\, and it falls to him to come up with a plan; Reda\, his cousin\, is sweet but hapless\, owing in part to a weakness for drugs. To raise the money they need for fake passports\, they resort to increasingly desperate crimes: stealing\, sex work\, human trafficking. To sustain themselves\, they nurture the fantasy of the café they plan to open in Germany\, where Chatila’s wife will cook\, and they’ll make enough money to bring the rest of their family\, currently stuck in the camp. \nWhile films about refugees are not uncommon\, what sets this film apart is the way the director puts us squarely in Chatila and Reda’s shoes as they try to figure out how to reach their final destination\, how to keep themselves alive in the meanwhile\, and how to do it all without losing their humanity in the process.
