SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Tel Aviv on Fire  - Won Best of SIFF!
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Tel Aviv on Fire (Palestinian Director)\nThis movie won for people’s choice!  So is playing again! \nIn this clever comedy from writer/director Sameh Zoabi\, Salam is a hapless 30-something production assistant on his uncle’s TV show\, a popular Palestinian soap opera called “Tel Aviv On Fire.” Set in 1967\, just a few months before the start of the Six-Day War\, the show is a huge hit with audiences on both sides of the divide. Things start looking up for Salam when an offhand remark impresses the show’s star and results in his promotion to writer. The promotion even impresses Miriam\, Salam’s ex-girlfriend\, whom he hopes to win back. Living in Jerusalem\, he must pass through the Ramallah checkpoint every day to get to the studio. One day he’s interrogated by Israeli military commander Assi\, whose wife just happens to be a huge fan of the show. Assi is full of ideas for improving the script (and impressing his wife)\, which works to Salam’s advantage—until Assi and the show’s producers want to take the story in distinctly different directions. With the season finale looming\, it’s up to Salam to figure out a resolution that will keep everyone happy. \n— Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nSameh Zoabi was born in 1975 in Iskal\, a Palestinian village near the city of Nazareth. He graduated from Tel Aviv University with a dual degree in Film Studies and English Literature before earning a Fulbright Fellowship to earn his MFA in Filmmaking from Columbia University in 2005. With films like Tel Aviv On Fire (2018)\, Zoabi seeks to invoke humor in difficult narratives\, stating\, “We talk about Palestine being a place that is very hard\, but I always remember people laughing all the time.” In addition to filmmaking\, Zoabi is an adjunct professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts\, Hunter College\, and Columbia University’s MFA program\, teaching courses in direction\, production\, and screenwriting.\n \nSponsored by Diageo Americas\, Inc.\, The Fools \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/tel-aviv-on-fire \nThursday\, May 30\, 2019\, AMC Pacific Place\, 7pm \nFriday\, May 31\, 2019\, SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 3:30pm

SUMMARY:Gaza Fights for Freedom - Movie at Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Gaza Fights for Freedom\nThis debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine\, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockade. \nThis collaboration shows you Gaza’s protest movement like you’ve never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March of Return protests\, it features exclusive footage of demonstrations where 200 unarmed civilians have been killed by Israeli snipers since March 30\, 2018. \nThe documentary tells the story of Gaza past and present\, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. Victims are heard from the ongoing massacre\, including journalists\, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic\, Razan al-Najjar.

SUMMARY:Tel Aviv on Fire as part of the Saint Mark's Mideast Focus Ministry Middle East Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join our brothers and sisters at Saint Mark’s Mideast Focus Ministry for a film series to educate and promote understanding about the struggle for peace and justice in the Holy Land.  Each screening includes presentations by guest speakers with personal experience on the subject. The opening film “Tel Aviv on Fire” will feature guest speaker playwright Ed Mast. \n\n—–\nOur film series begins with humor because it is the most bearable coping device. Through satire we get perspective on our common humanity. Then we look at how Gazans try to make their desperate situation known to the world\, how families endure when their children are forcibly removed from their homes and placed in military prisons\, and how they cope when their homes are demolished before their eyes. Finally\, we explore some of the factors explaining why the U.S. leads the way in supporting this occupation.\nFilm Series Dates Include: \n\nFebruary 28\, 2020: Tel Aviv on Fire (catered reception at 6:15 p.m\, movie at 7pm)\nMarch 27\, 2020: Gaza Fights for Freedom\nApril 24\, 2020: Imprisoning a Generation\nMay 15\, 2020: The Lobby—U.S.A

SUMMARY:Jen Marlowe's "This is Gaza-Part I"
DESCRIPTION:The first in a two-part series featuring films created in Gaza by Seattle filmmaker Jen Marlowe \nJen Marlowe Biography:\nJen Marlowe is a Seattle-based award-winning author/documentary filmmaker/playwright and human rights activist. \nIn 2004\, with colleagues Adam Shapiro and Aisha Bain\, Jen traveled to Northern Darfur and Eastern Chad to make the award-winning documentary film Darfur Diaries: Message from Home and wrote the accompanying book Darfur Diaries: Stories of Survival (Nation Books\, 2006). Darfur Diaries was included in the 2007 edition of the Best American Non-Required Reading\, edited by Dave Eggers. Jen’s second feature-length award-winning documentary is called Rebuilding Hope: Sudan’s Lost Boys Return Home. Rebuilding Hope follows three Sudanese-American young men on their first homecoming trip back to Sudan\, to discover whether their homes and families survived the civil war and to build a school\, drill wells and bring medical supplies to their villages in Sudan. Jen’s second book\, called The Hour of Sunlight: One Palestinian’s Journey from Prisoner to Peacemaker (Nation Books\, 2011)\, is co-authored with and tells the story of Sami Al Jundi\, a Palestinian man who spent ten years in Israeli prison for being involved in militant anti-occupation activities as a youth and who has spent the last two decades of his life working towards nonviolence and peaceful reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.The Hour of Sunlight was the winner of the London-based Middle East Monitor’s Palestine Book Award in 2012. Jen is also the playwright of There is a Field. The play\, which addresses issues faced by Palestinian citizens of Israel\, launched globally in October 2010\, marking the ten-year anniversary of Black October. Jen’s third award-winning documentary film\, One Family in Gaza profiles one family’s experience during and after the 2009 assault on the Gaza Strip. Jen’s most recent book is I Am Troy Davis (Haymarket Books\, 2013)\, written with Martina Davis-Correia\, the sister of innocent death row prisoner Troy Davis whose execution in 2011 stirred world-wide protest and condemnation due to his strong case of innocence. \nJen’s articles about Palestine/Israel\, Sudan\, Bahrain and the death penalty can be found at The Nation\, Progressive\, Worldfocus.org\, Tomdispatch.com\, Yes!\, Colorlines and Massachusetts Review. Jen has been the recipient of grants\, residencies and fellowships from the Pultizer Center on Crisis Reporting\, the Nation Institute Investigative Fund\, the Dorot Foundation\, Seattle’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs\, Hedgebrook\, and the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice. \nYou can support her work by donating: http://www.donkeysaddle.org/index.php/donate-page
