SUMMARY:Arab Film Club: Alexandria... Why? [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:(Youssef Chahine\, 1979\, Egypt\, 133 min\, in Egyptian Arabic with English subtitles)\n\nAlexandria during World War II. Yehia\, a young man in his final year of school who loves movies and music\, dreams of making it to Hollywood. But like most of Egypt’s middle class\, the war has left his parents in a tight financial situation. Through Yehia’s endeavors\, his Christian family and his diverse group of friends\, we are exposed to different segments of Alexandrian society: from Egyptian and British soldiers\, communist workers and patriotic aristocrats to social climbers and war profiteers. A rich\, dynamic portrait of the director’s beloved city during a seminal moment in its long and layered history. \nAn Egyptian classic\, Alexandria…Why? won the Silver Bear – Special Jury Prize at the 29th Berlin International Film Festival in 1979. \nAbout Youssef Chahine: \nBorn in Alexandria in 1926 to a middle-class family of Greek and Lebanese origin\, Chahine came into the world between the wars in the heart of the region’s most cosmopolitan city. From an early age he developed a passion for theater\, cinema\, and Shakespeare. After spending a year at the University of Alexandria\, he decided to study acting at California’s Pasadena Playhouse\, only to quickly turn to directing. Chahine’s reputation as an international auteur was established early on; his sophomore effort Son of the Nile (Ibn el Nil\, 1951) was nominated for Cannes’ Grand Prix of the Festival in 1952. \n– Bio by Joseph Fahim

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  To A Land Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Mahdi 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.

SUMMARY:Movie: Sudan\, Remember Us
DESCRIPTION:In April 2019\, filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital\, Khartoum\, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins\, making music\, reciting poetry\, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.” \nFor Meddeb\, who has family roots in Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria\, the movement brings to mind the aspirations of her late father: “the dream of an Arab country with its customs shaken up by a feminist revolution.” She captures demonstrations going late into the night with a celebratory atmosphere. The activists are defiant against backlash. “Bullets don’t kill\,” says one young man. “What kills is people’s silence.” \nSUDAN\, REMEMBER US enshrines this moment\, but also documents the descent into war that followed. Today\, Sudan is engulfed in violence between internal factions in collusion with external arms suppliers driven to gain control over the country’s wealth of minerals. The war has displaced more than 8 million people and killed over 14\,000\, but is largely ignored by international news. No single film can explain a nation’s complex history or politics. Instead\, Meddeb simply bears witness to courageous people receiving scant coverage. Meddeb is always attuned to the power of language—dictators may come and go\, but as one activist asserts\, “poems are eternal.”

SUMMARY:Movie: Sudan\, Remember Us
DESCRIPTION:In April 2019\, filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital\, Khartoum\, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins\, making music\, reciting poetry\, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.” \nFor Meddeb\, who has family roots in Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria\, the movement brings to mind the aspirations of her late father: “the dream of an Arab country with its customs shaken up by a feminist revolution.” She captures demonstrations going late into the night with a celebratory atmosphere. The activists are defiant against backlash. “Bullets don’t kill\,” says one young man. “What kills is people’s silence.” \nSUDAN\, REMEMBER US enshrines this moment\, but also documents the descent into war that followed. Today\, Sudan is engulfed in violence between internal factions in collusion with external arms suppliers driven to gain control over the country’s wealth of minerals. The war has displaced more than 8 million people and killed over 14\,000\, but is largely ignored by international news. No single film can explain a nation’s complex history or politics. Instead\, Meddeb simply bears witness to courageous people receiving scant coverage. Meddeb is always attuned to the power of language—dictators may come and go\, but as one activist asserts\, “poems are eternal.”

SUMMARY:What exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday\, August 30\, 2025 Virtual Programming via Zoom: \nWhat exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda.\nPlease Click Here to register to attend this event via Zoom. \nScreening will start at 12:00 PM US EDT; 19:00 Palestine\, 18:00 Europe\, UK 17:00; Running Time 12 minutes\, 2023\, English language. The screening will be followed by Q&A discussions with the audience. \nAbout the Topic\nThe 1948 Nakba—Israel calls it the War of Independence and claims it fended off and conquered the invasion of several Arab armies from surrounding countries. Nothing could be further from the truth. \nAs the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold\, it’s crucial to put the events of 1948 into perspective and examine the similarities and differences. There’s a stark contrast between the misinformation and lack of media coverage in 1948 versus the live-streamed coverage of the current genocide on people’s mobile devices and screens worldwide. Was what happened in 1948 as tragic and horrific as what’s happening in Gaza now\, just unknown to the world?

SUMMARY:Movie: A State of Passion
DESCRIPTION:After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals\, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon\, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah\, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance. With news footage of him pale and shell-shocked reverberating around the world\, he spoke of a catalogue of horrors from amputations without anesthetics to orphaned children with no surviving family\, and the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities. \nThis was the sixth and most horrific Gaza “war” during which Ghassan had traveled to provide critical medical aid. Why does he do it? Where does he find the strength to face it again and again? How does it impact his family? How do they process the risks he takes? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine; a passion they articulate through their support of his perilous humanitarian work. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles. \nA portion of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund\, providing medical attention to the children who need it the most and helping to relieve the medical sector in Gaza and Lebanon. \n“…an important piece of work… Some of what it has to say will echo for decades\, and nobody who watches it will forget what they have seen.” Jennie Kermode\, Eye For Film

SUMMARY:SAFF Arab Film Club: Dreams of a City
DESCRIPTION:When his father dies\, Dib\, his younger brother and their mother move away from their hometown Quneitra to Damascus. The mother’s despotic father reluctantly takes them in and tries to force the mother to remarry. Overwhelmed by the magic of the city\, Dib wants to discover everything and is full of dreams. His daily life is shaped by insults and punishments however. Dib grows up against a backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1950s (the end of the military dictatorship in Syria and the nationalization of the Suez Canal\, Nasser’s taking of power in Cairo\, Egyptian and Syrian unification in 1958) and loses his childish illusions in the face of such violence and brutality. The dreams of the city prove to be a nightmare. Mohammad Malas’ partly autobiographical debut film marked the transition to auteur cinema in Syria.

SUMMARY:Film "Half Moon" at Vancouver Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The act of artistic creation can feel inadequate when trying to convey the tragedy of war\, but for clarinettist and composer Kinan Azmeh\, music is a way to bear that grief and break down the boundaries of emotional and cultural expression. A witness to lives lost and displaced in his home country of Syria\, Azmeh questions what role he can play as an artist and musician in a face of global conflicts and violence. \nFrank Scheffer’s introspective documentary follows Azmeh on his travels to New York\, Amsterdam\, and Palestine\, where the artist’s soulful music and collaborative performances enrapture audiences through outpourings of emotional urgency. Half Moon: Kinan Azmeh is a profound and celebratory meditation on art’s ability to inspire different cultures and reshape solidarity\, community\, and hope in the world\, even in dark times.

SUMMARY:Movie: Foragers + Floral Autumnal Wreath Making
DESCRIPTION:Anker + @manetteflowerco with @kitsappalestinesolidarity invite you to watch and discuss Jumana Manna’s film\, FORAGERS. Afterwards\, participants will combine foraged and provided floral to create autumnal wreaths to be taken home. Refreshments provided. \n100% of proceeds will benefit @ele_elna_elak\, a volunteer-driven campaign providing water and food to displaced families across Gaza. The funds go directly to purchasing goods and covering distribution costs on the ground. \nSaturday\, October 25\n1:30 – 5:00\n$100 donation or give what you can \nRSVP link in profile.\nDM if you would like to contribute floral\, photography\, food or volunteer. \nAbout FORAGERS\nFORAGERS depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights\, the Galilee and Jerusalem\, it moves between fiction\, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme)\, and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians\, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land while Israeli state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen\, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol\, to courtroom defenses\, FORAGERS captures the inherited love\, joy and knowledge in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law.

His daily life is shaped by insults and punishments however. Dib grows up against a backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1950s (the end of the military dictatorship in Syria and the nationalization of the Suez Canal\, Nasser’s taking of power in Cairo\, Egyptian and Syrian unification in 1958) and loses his childish illusions in the face of such violence and brutality. The dreams of the city prove to be a nightmare. Mohammad Malas’ partly autobiographical debut film marked the transition to auteur cinema in Syria. \nAlso showing: \n\nSat Nov 01: 1.00pm PDT\, 5.30pm PDT\n\n\nSun Nov 02: 2.30pm PDT
