SUMMARY:Movie: Nine Parts:  PBS Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Film available for screening through April 30\, 2023\n\nNine Parts – PBS Broadcast\nA film by Mike Mosallam\, Heather Raffo and Nilou Safinya\nStreaming on PBS – Watch now! \nUprooted after her father’s death during the pandemic\, an Iraqi American woman attempts to grieve at the site of the oldest Iraqi Church in North America. What starts in profound isolation\, becomes communal as Iraqi women\, ordinary and extraordinary\, come to her in spirit and ancestry with their personal stories of love and resilience. Together\, they offer a celebration of the Iraqi female experience and an explicit warning – the divisions Iraq endured are not unique\, Iraq is a bellwether for America now. \nNearly 20 years ago\, 9 Parts of Desire premiered to widespread acclaim on London stages and Off-Broadway\, later becoming a global theatrical phenomenon. Now\, Heather Raffo adapts her multi-award-winning solo play about Iraqi women for the screen and for our current time. From Iraq to Michigan\, Raffo transforms into a wide cross-section of Iraqi women in her inspiring exploration of love and grief within countries undone by division\, violence and loss. \nWatch an interview with Heather Raffo and AANM Public Programming Coordinator\, Fatima Al-Rasool\, on PBS NewsHour about the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. \n\nHeather Raffo is a singular and outstanding voice in the American theater whose work has been championed by the New Yorker as “an example of how art can remake the world.” Having helped forge a new genre of Arab American theater\, she’s spent her career writing and embodying stories of Iraq: from the lives and dreams of Iraqi women in her seminal work 9 Parts of Desire (2003)\, to the suicidal ideation of an Iraq war veteran in the opera Fallujah (2012)\, to the restless longings of an Iraqi refugee architect in Noura (2018). A multi award-winning writer and actor\, she’s toured nationally and internationally: from the Kennedy Center to The Aspen Ideas Festival and from London’s House of Commons to the U.S. Islamic World Forum. Her newly released anthology\, Heather Raffo’s Iraq Plays: The Things That Can’t Be Said\, brings together two decades of her most groundbreaking contributions to the American theater and speaks to the bravery required to be at the forefront of a movement. Her newest Migration Play Cycle\, her most ambitious theatrical imagining in scale and scope\, situates themes around migration and the global economy. Being raised in the Midwest and the daughter of an Iraqi immigrant\, Raffo has committed her artistic practice to working across all kinds of borders: on mainstages and in rural communities; with the military and in the Arab world; in swing states and in refugee facilities. She is uniquely positioned to explore what migration means for an ever-evolving American and global identity. Photo credit for headshot is:  Satya Tisman Photography

SUMMARY:Movie: Jaddoland: Streaming
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis: JADDOLAND explores the meaning of home and the search for belonging across generations. When the filmmaker returns to her hometown in the Texas panhandle to visit her mother\, an artist from Iraq\, she turns her lens on her mother’s increasingly isolated life\, as well as the beauty and solace that emerge through her creative process. Soon\, the filmmaker’s charismatic grandfather arrives\, still longing for the homeland he recently left.  While the shadow of geopolitical and historical forces looms on the periphery\, the filmmaker searches for unexpected moments of meaning in the everyday\, subtly weaving threads between past and present\, her mother’s work and her own. In doing so\, she draws an artful and deeply intimate portrait of one family reimagining its relationships to the places they call home. \nWe are thrilled to present creative and award-winning documentary JADDOLAND\, this month on the Arab FIlm Series online! \n  \nOnline Screening: April 27-30 \nFree / $5 suggested donation \nRSVP at arabfilmseries.org \nAvailable in North America \n  \nProgram includes a pre-recorded Q&A with filmmaker Nadia Shihab \nJaddoland\, Nadia Shihab\, USA\, 2018\, 90 min. \nEnglish \n  \nThe Arab Film Series online is a monthly program of films and discussions with artists and filmmakers from the SWANA region and its diasporas\, presented by ArteEast in partnership with the Arab American National Museum and Arab Film and Media Institute.

SUMMARY:Voices from the Holy Land: Online Film Salon
DESCRIPTION:Two documentary films\, Voices across the Divide and Born in Deir Yassin\, pull back the carefully constructed curtain of “a land without people for a people without a land.” Since 1948\, a monumental effort has been made to promote a romantic mythology of Israel’s creation and to hide the brutal violence. But firsthand accounts by both the oppressor and the oppressed\, the expeller and the exiled\, reveal the ongoing wounds. Nothing is resolved by dialogue alone\, yet nothing will be resolved without it. Any hope of coexistence begins when the historical truth is rediscovered and acknowledged. It begins here. \nWatch the film for free at your convenience; then join the Q&A Discussion with: \nAlice Rothchild:  Author\, filmmaker\, and Assistant Professor\, Harvard Medical School (Retd.)\nEmad Moussa:  Palestinian-British journalist\, researcher\, and human rights activist\nHuda Giddens: Palestinian American educator\, Nakba survivor\nAhlam Muhtaseb (moderator):  Author\, filmmaker\, and Professor of Media Studies at CSUSB \nYou must register to join the discussion & receive access to the film:  Tinyurl.com/VFHL-May2023\nWatch the Trailers: 1) vimeo.com/818747654             2) vimeo.com/818744242 \nHow this will work: \n1 – Register here for the Voices from the Holy Land Online Film Salon: \nTinyurl.com/VFHL-May2023 \n2 – Once you register\, you will get a confirmation email from Zoom with a link to the meeting and a link with to watch the film.  (Save this confirmation letter as the meeting link is unique to your email and you must have this to participate.) \n3 – Watch the film at your convenience before the event.  Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion on Sunday May 21\, 2023 at 3 pm ET/ 12 noon PT.

SUMMARY:Tinariwen at the Showbox
DESCRIPTION:The new album by Tinariwen could well have been called Exile on Main Street.  But other people have already thought of that. It also could have been called A la recherché du pays perdu (‘Remembrance of a lost country’). Except that would have been a tad Proustian for musicians who grew up pretty much between a rock and a sand dune\, in the midst of their goat herds and camel caravans. But the idea is apt. As is the painful paradox\, if you consider that while Tinariwen were busy criss-crossing the globe on their recent triumphant tours (160 concerts played in the past three years)\, expanding their audience on all five continents\, becoming one of the latest musical phenomena of truly universal calibre\, the frontiers that encircle their desert home were closing down and double-locking\, forcing them into exile to record this their 8th album.

SUMMARY:Movie: The Scars of Ali Boulala
DESCRIPTION:At 16 years old\, Ali Boulala was on top of the world: the Algerian-Finnish skateboarding prodigy from Sweden snagged a sponsorship from Flip Skateboards\, who flew him out to LA at the height of the 90s skating craze. Boulala spent his days trying to nail new tricks for DIY videos and hanging out with a global cohort of other precocious pros\, who loved Boulala for his charisma and punk-inflected style. But the indulgences of life on tour – especially for a group of death-defying teenagers – took its toll\, building to a tragic accident that changed Boulala’s life forever. \nIn his debut feature\, Max Eriksson tells Boulala’s story through an audaciously atmospheric blend of sources: we see Boulala in his prime in skate videos from the 90s and 00s\, while fellow pro skaters – Rune Glifberg\, Arto Saari\, and Kevin “Spanky” Long – tell us who he was off the halfpipe. As Boulala revisits his youth with fresh eyes\, he takes a clear-eyed look at the unexpected lifestyle that was inextricable from his childhood talent. As he puts it\, a person’s inner scars will always outlast their physical injuries. \n  \nRuntime: 100 minutes
