SUMMARY:Brilliant Mind: A Live & Interactive Digital Experience
DESCRIPTION:Brilliant Mind: A Live & Interactive Digital Experience\n10 p.m. EDT / 7 p.m. PDT Sunday\, May 16\nFREE with RSVP; Limited spots available\, so act fast and claim your spot! \nJoin AANM for an exclusive showing of the premiere of Brilliant Mind. Written by AANM artist-in-residence Denmo Ibrahim\, Brilliant Mind is an innovative and interactive virtual theatre experience. \nWhen Dina and Yusef learn of their estranged father’s death\, they step in and bury a man they never knew. Will brother and sister face their truths once family secrets come to light? Inspired by true stories of first-generation Americans\, Brilliant Mind takes a hard look at generational trauma\, the struggle between self and family\, and the weight of carrying a legacy. It’s an excavation of the politics of gender in immigrant communities and the challenges ever present between tradition and culture. This is a story of hope\, of what gets lost in translation\, and of what happens when we dare to love unconditionally. \nIn this extraordinary live and interactive digital experience\, explore the family ties that bind and break us\, the healing that comes through death\, and the acceptance that our parents do the best they can—the rest is up to us. \nCo-produced by Marin Theatre Company & Storykrapht

SUMMARY:There Is A Field\, a film\, by Jen Marlowe
DESCRIPTION:There Is A Field\n\na film by Jen Marlowe\nMay 27 from 7–9pm PT (Zoom film screening + panel discussion)\nMay 28–30 (view the film online\, on demand)\nSliding scale admission: $0–25. Suggested contribution: $15\nGet your tickets here: https://nwfilmforum.org/films/there-is-a-field-online/\nPlease pay what you can; 25% of proceeds will go directly to support Washington state families impacted by police violence. Remaining proceeds support co-presenting organizations Donkeysaddle Projects\, Dunya Productions\, and Northwest Film Forum.\nAbout the opening night event:\nDunya Productions\, Seattle Rep\, and NWFF are partnering on a virtual event which will include watching the film\, followed by a meaningful discussion with Seattle-based Black Lives Matter and Palestinian justice activists\, exploring the connections addressed in the film\, ways to locally embark on joint organizing and solidarity\, and the power of theatre and film in social justice movements.\n \nAbout the film: \nIn October 2000\, a police officer shot and killed unarmed 17-year-old Asel Asleh. His story is tragically familiar for Americans\, but Asel was not killed in Ferguson\, New York City\, Atlanta\, or Minneapolis. Asel was a Palestinian teenager who was murdered by Israeli police as he participated in a demonstration\, calling for an end to the Israeli occupation and settler-colonization.\nThere Is a Field began as a play about Asel’s life and his death\, told from the perspective of his older sister\, Nardin. 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\, including Zionism and white supremacy—root causes of state-sanctioned violence and structural racism.\nLearn more at https://www.thereisafield.movie/

SUMMARY:"The Price of Oslo"\, directed by Rawan Damen
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the screening of the film “The Price of Oslo”\, directed by Rawan Damen. The film is about 100 minutes.  \nThe film screening will be followed by a discussion with the film director Rawan Damen. Screening will begin at 12 Noon US EDT; 7:00 PM Palestine time \nAbout the Film \nFor most people\, the Oslo Accords will forever be symbolised by the grand public signing ceremony that took place on the lawn of the White House on September 13\, 1993. Far fewer people\, however\, are aware of the fact that the Accords were actually signed several weeks earlier\, on August 20\, in a guest house in Oslo\, or of the seven-hour long telephone conversation\, on August 18\, that was instrumental in bringing the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel to the point where they could be signed. \nRawan Damen: “After six months of research and numerous interviews\, I was certain that light needed to be shed on the aspects of this story that had been intentionally left unlit.”

SUMMARY:Disrupted Pasts\, Displaced Futures: Arte Archive
DESCRIPTION:Disrupted Pasts\, Displaced Futures is a selection of moving image works by contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa\, blending science fiction\, arabfuturism\, and magic realism to tackle themes of displacement\, migration\, and climate crisis. Responding to an unstable present through the lens of the future\, these alternate realities open a space where new possibilities emerge. \nFeatured Artists: Meriem Bennani\, Mariam Mekiwi\, Larissa Sansour \nRSVP HERE \nThe 4 Movies Featured Are: \nParty on the CAPS synopsis: In a world where teleportation has replaced planes\, a wacky crocodile named Fiona tells of life on the CAPS: an island-turned-refugee-camp for illegal immigrants caught mid-teleportation. Themes of displacement\, biotechnology and privacy are evoked through the augmented reality of a raucous birthday party in the Moroccan quarter of the CAPS. Mixing the languages of reality TV\, advertising\, documentary and high-end commercial aesthetics\, Bennani explores the potential of storytelling through magical realism and humour. \n  \nBefore I Forget Synopsis: El Captain disappears\, one of his disciples takes a journey in the ocean to cut off the internet cable\, the water level is rising\, an amphibian woman appears at the shore looking for her mother\, and the memories of two women in a ward intertwine. Scientist Dr. Sharaf is trying to congregate all of them – the members of the secret society of amphibians – in an attempt to save the world. \n  \nNation Estate synopsis: With its glossy mixture of computer-generated imagery\, live actors\, and an arabesque electronica soundtrack\, the Nation Estate film explores a vertical solution to Palestinian statehood. Palestinians have their state in the form of a single skyscraper: the Nation Estate. One colossal high-rise houses the entire Palestinian population – now finally living the high life. \n  \nIn the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain synopsis: Combining live-action and computer-generated imagery\, In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain explores the role of myth in history\, fact\, and national identity. A narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elaborate porcelain\, which they suggest belonged to an entirely fictional civilization. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their vanishing lands. \n  \nplus a recorded discussion with the directors! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Eleven Reflections on September
DESCRIPTION:Film available Thursday\, Sept. 9 – Thursday\, Sept. 16\nOnline Stream – Register for Free \nJoin the Arab Film Series Online for a special program Eleven Reflections on September by Andrea Assaf: A poetry\, music\, movement and digital media exploration of Arab American experience\, Wars on/of Terror\, and “the constant\, quiet rain of death amidst beauty” that each autumn brings in a post-9/11 world. The program will be accompanied by a discussion with the artist Andrea Assaf as well as Lubana Al Qantar\, moderated by Leila Buck\, available Sept. 13-16. \nBased on a series of poems Andrea Assaf has written since 2001\, Eleven Reflections spans the fall of the Twin Towers\, the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq\, the global rise of anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia\, and the revolutions and uprisings that have swept through the Arab world in the last decade. Aesthetically\, the poems explore the disintegration of language in the face of violence\, prejudice\, and unspeakable horror\, as they progress from lyrical to abstract and broken. \nThe annual witnessing of autumn leaves becomes a metaphor for the fallen…as we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11\, this ever-evolving tour de force finds new relevance and urgency. As an experimental work that lives at the intersection of live performance and digital media\, Eleven Reflections on September is beautiful\, haunting\, and truly genre-shattering. \n104 minutes / 2021 / United States / Experimental / English and Arabic with English subtitles \nPresented in partnership with Arab Film and Media Institute and ArteEast \nMORE INFO + RSVP

SUMMARY:Virtual screening of the documentary film "Lost Cities of Palestine" directed by Ramez Kazmouz
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event. \nAbout the Film \nAn extraordinary insight into Palestinian life in the city before 1948\, revealing the loss of a culture and lifestyle. \nThe film\, directed by Ramez Kazmouz\, is 49 minutes. \nRarely seen archival footage accompanies memories and accounts of forgotten Palestinian cities and the catastrophic effect the creation of Israel in 1948 had on them. \nHaifa\, Nazareth\, and Jaffa have all been overshadowed by Tel Aviv\, but in their day each of the Palestinian cities had magnificent commercial and cultural ability. \nMade for Al Jazeera in 2011\, “Lost cities of Palestine” provides a rare opportunity to see Palestine as it was in the 30s and 40s and learn about the everyday life and culture of urban Palestine before 1948.

SUMMARY:Free virtual screening of the documentary film "Jerusalem: A Rock and a Hard Place "
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJerusalem: A Rock And A Hard Place\, a remarkable two-part documentary special from Al Jazeera English\,  goes behind the scenes with residents from each of the three monolithic faiths who share one of the world’s most extraordinary cities: Jerusalem. \nHere\, Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims and Christians exist in close geographical proximity and are bound in many ways by a common history. \nBut as these films reveal\, they are also worlds apart. \nThe stark\, every-day challenges of life in a city shaped by 70 years of Israeli occupation – with its oppressive discrimination\, security walls and endless petty restrictions  – aren’t always fully understood by outsiders. To followers of different faiths\, Jerusalem is a sacred and spiritual place\, to many tourists it’s most famous for its culturally significant monuments\, but to those who live here its status is much more complex.
