SUMMARY:Virtual Movie: Aida Returns
DESCRIPTION:A poignant\, sometimes sad\, sometimes painful\, sometimes humorous\, often absurd story of a multiple journey: the journey of loss as the director’s mother Aida struggled with losing herself to Alzheimer’s disease\, but finding solace in her repeated “returning” to the Yafa and Palestine of her youth; the journey of the loss of a parent; and the ultimate return journey back to Yafa where Aida would finally find rest and be herself once more.

SUMMARY:Virtual Movie: Homeland: Iraq Year Zero
DESCRIPTION:In February 2002 – about a year before the U.S. invasion – Iraqi filmmaker Abbas Fahdel traveled home from France to capture everyday life as his country prepared for war. He concentrated on family and friends\, including his 12-year-old nephew\, Haider\, as they went about their daily lives\, which had come to include planning for shortages of food\, water and power. No strangers to war\, the Iraqis thought they understood what was coming\, and could even manage to be grimly humorous about what they felt would likely be a major and lengthy inconvenience. And then\, the war began. \n  \nWhen Fahdel resumed filming in 2003\, two weeks after the invasion\, daily activities have come to a near standstill\, the city is overrun with foreign soldiers\, and many areas of Baghdad had been closed off to ordinary citizens. Iraqis endure\, seemingly as unwitting as Americans themselves about what further tragedy awaits. Fahdel’s epic yet intimate film paints a compelling portrait of people struggling to survive while their civilization\, dating back to ancient times\, is destroyed around them.

SUMMARY:Marketing the Occupation: Part Three - The Social Media Battleground in a Time of War
DESCRIPTION:Israel and pro-Israel advocacy groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on social media messaging to build “Brand Israel” and sway U.S. public opinion. Such campaigns have influenced elections\, inserted falsehoods into news cycles\, and intimated decision-makers into funding weapons for Israel. But there is resistance. For example\, Wikipedia has deemed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “a generally unreliable source” on the war in Gaza. Students assert their First Amendment rights\, protesting on campuses\, advocating for boycotts\, and sharing news directly from Gaza. What are the dimensions of this social media battle for the “hearts and minds” of the American public? \n  \nWatch the curated videos for free at your convenience. | Join the Q&A discussion with: \nOmar Zahzah – Assistant Professor\, AMED Studies\, San Francisco State University \nKatie Halper – Host\, “The Katie Halper Show” (WBAI); Co-Host\, “Useful Idiots” \nBryce Greene – FAIR Student Organizer\, Indiana University Bloomington \nMaya Berry – (Moderator) Executive Director\, Arab American Institute \n  \nRegister now:  Tinyurl.com/VFHL-January2025 \nWatch the trailer: https://tinyurl.com/VFHL-TrailerJanuary2025

The project captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave\, including the challenges\, tragedies\, and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction\, documentary\, docu-fiction\, animation\, and experimental cinema\, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow\, joy\, and hope inherent in Gazan life. \nDespite harsh filming conditions\, Gaza’s vibrant artistic scene shines through this stunning anthology film\, which offers an intimate and powerful portrait of daily life in modern-day Palestine – and the enduring spirit of its people. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles. \n“The fact that this film even exists seems miraculous… [From Ground Zero] aims to humanize\, to empathize\, to go beyond the headlines and geopolitics. It aims to convey the hopes and dreams of everyday people\, which persist even in dire circumstances.” Jennifer Green\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists \n“A powerful cry to the world that these filmmakers\, collaborators\, and people walking in the background are still there\, still living under worsening conditions\, and still need help.

SUMMARY:No Other Land (in person) - NWFF
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards!  \nBasel Adra\, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta\, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval\, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle\, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel\, living under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval\, unrestricted and free. This film\, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists\, was co-created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. \nSynopsis courtesy of mTuckman Media\n \nThu Feb 20: 7.30pm PDT\nFri Feb 21: 7.00pm PDT\nSat Feb 22: 4.00pm PDT\, 7.00pm PDT\nFri Feb 28: 7.00pm PDT\nSat Mar 01: 4.00pm PDT\, 7.00pm PDT\nSun Mar 02: 4.00pm PDT
