SUMMARY:26th Arab Film Festival Shorts: Queer Lens
DESCRIPTION:AFMI’s annual Queer Lens program celebrates the multi-dimensional formations of Arab queerness in stories that so urgently need to be told\, especially in today’s polarized media climate that leaves issues of visibility lost in the haze\, or\, worse: cast in a one-size-fits-all “Western Queer Narrative” that ignores the many complexities and nuances faced by LGBTQ+ persons in the Arab World and beyond. \nThis year’s program theme is Diaspora & Displacement and features 5 award-winning short films that highlight the experiences of Queer Arabs around the globe. The characters in these stories all find themselves at the intersection of their identities. Some must reconcile the reality of their sexuality with a family who loves but does not understand\, others work towards a life lived authentically in a society that does not accept them and a few explore leaving a place that is not safe even though it means letting go of those they care about. In this collection\, audiences will find stories that may be unique in their details but are deeply relatable at their core and despite the difficulties\, celebrate honesty and love. \nJoin us after the screening for Arab + Queer + Film: between here and there a conversation with four of the filmmakers in the Queer Lens program. \nThis program includes the following films: \nHabib & the Thief (Sweden) dir. Naures Sager \nThe Window (Lebanon) dir. Sarah Kaskas \nFaraway (Canada) dir. Aziz Zoromba \nDress Up (United States) dir. Karina Dandashi \nWarsha (Lebanon) dir. Dania Bdeir

Through Nardin’s struggle to cope with the murder of her brother\, the play offers a uniquely personal lens for learning about intersecting systems of oppression\, the root causes of state-sanctioned violence and structural racism. Learn more about the film. \nAbout The Panelists:\n\nNada Elia PhD\, (moderator) is a diaspora Palestinian scholar and activist who teaches in the American Cultural Studies program at Western Washington University WWU\, and is the author of Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts: Feminism\, Inter/Nationalism\, and Palestine.\nAlicia Koutsoulieris\, Amnesty International\, USA country specialist for the Israel Occupied Territories – Palestinian Authority – IOPT-PA.\nJesse Hagopian is an educator\, author\, and part of the 2011 African Heritage Eyewitness Palestine delegation.

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Time for Ilhan
DESCRIPTION:Ilhan Omar\, a young\, hijab-wearing mother of three\, takes on two formidable opponents in a highly contested race for a seat in the Minnesota State Legislature. Up against a 43-year incumbent\, Ilhan is the “outsider” – a Muslim\, refugee\, woman of color seeks to challenge the party’s status quo while simultaneously defying lingering gender norms within her own Muslim community. \nTIME FOR ILHAN shadows Ilhan and her scrappy group of dedicated campaign staffers throughout the entire campaign’s dramatic uphill battle. A fresh and timely take on theclassic American Dream\, the film offers an inspiring\, stereotype-busting portrait of one of America’s brightest new political stars\, at the start of her meteoric ascent from political newcomer to becoming one of the first Muslim Women in the U.S. Congress. Her story\, part of a larger\, unprecedented wave of growing diversity in elected office around the country offers a powerful and transformative reminder of the reflective\, representative democracy that is truly possible.
