SUMMARY:Second Intifada - 20 Years On: Film Series: Online
DESCRIPTION:The Second Intifada heralded a particularly fresh\, urgent and experimental approach to filmmaking\, in tune with the uprisings to which they contributed. Working at a distance from both the main political organizations and\, often\, the aesthetic insistences of Global Northern art cinema funding\, filmmakers took advantage of accessible technologies to forge new notions of freedom. The prolific body of work from this period does not just defiantly catalogue heightened colonial aggressions and appropriations\, it does so with a wit and eclecticism of approach that touched diverse audiences at home and internationally. \nFeaturing works by Ayreen Anastas\, Nahed Awwad\, Enas I. Al-Muthaffar\, Annemarie Jacir\, and Larissa Sansour

SUMMARY:Shall I Compare You to a Summer's Day? (Bashtaalak sa’at) [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\n\n\n\n(Mohammad Shawky Hassan\, Egypt\, Lebanon & Germany\, 2022\, 66 min\, in English and Arabic with English subtitles) \n** US premiere! Co-presented by Goethe Pop Up Seattle & Three Dollar Bill Cinema ** \nIn celebration of Seattle Pride\, we are proud to partner with Three Dollar Bill Cinema to present the US premiere of Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day\, the arty\, sensual\, and short first feature film by Egyptian video artist and filmmaker Mohammad Shawky Hassan. Imaginatively shot in blue-screen studios in Berlin\, Shall I Compare You is set in a time that is part tongue-in-cheek mythical past\, part relentlessly contemporary\, all queer\, and all Cairo. When our mistress of ceremonies (the Egyptian singer\, actor\, and powerful diva Donia Massoud) undertakes to tell the story of a queer romance\, she is diverted endlessly among the intersecting and diverging tales of the men of Club Scheherezade. This storybook Club is in an Egypt where gay and queer people can date\, kiss\, argue\, and hold hands without (or almost without) fear. The fact that this freedom must be fantastical is the determinedly cheerful movie’s sucker punch \nThe movie’s light tone belies an artistic seriousness of intent\, and the everyday intimacies of the men before the screen are given the weight of legend by fable-like chapter titles from the Arabian Nights and by song\, mostly decontextualized Egyptian pop\, sung earnestly by the men themselves or by Massoud.  Slyly carnal\, Shall I Compare You almost literally goes inside relationships\, hookups\, and the space between while finding wonderful opportunities for solidarity among its characters \nIn the film’s slippery\, giddily artificial structure\, Hassan employs what has been called a queer dramaturgy\, characterized by a subversive joy in digression and sexuality not unrelated\, perhaps\, to that of the original Arabian Nights. Shall I Compare You brings a gloriously peculiar perspective to a complex of relationships that are limned by Grindr\, tempted and troubled by polyamory\, and full\, always\, of sincerity and heart.

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Bloody Beans + Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Arab Film Series Online: Bloody Beans + Talkback\nFree Online Stream | Suggested $5 Donation – Register \nThis July\, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Algerian Independence from France\, Arab Film Series presents Bloody Beans\, an experimental take on the Algerian War by Narimane Mari. This program is accompanied with a recorded discussion with the filmmaker. \nShot on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Algerian independence\, (the film) is based on a loose\, improvisational script about a group of children who\, fed up with their monotonous diet of beans\, decide to steal food from the French military barracks and end up capturing a young French soldier as well. This allegory of the Algerian War of Independence is enacted on the beach and within the populous neighborhoods of today’s Algiers\, where almost half the population is under twenty-five years of age and largely unemployed. In a powerful mix of past (the struggle against French occupation) and present (the struggle of young people to survive)\, the film addresses the emotional realities of colonialism and contemporary forms of disenfranchisement.\, which sees the conflict played out by a group of vibrant children. Incorporating unique lighting and sound\, the film is a complex exploration of colonial powers and the fight for freedom. \n77 Minutes / 2013 / Algeria / Experimental / French and Arabic with English subtitles \nFor questions\, e-mail Dave Serio at dserio@accesscommunity.org.

SUMMARY:Free virtual screening of the documentary film "Aida Returns\," directed by Carol Mansour
DESCRIPTION:We will be screening a 20 minute-condensed pre-release version of the film. The film screening will be followed by Q&A discussion with Carol Mansour\, film director\, and Muna Khalidi\, producer. Click the title above for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAIDA RETURNS – أمي العائدة إلى يافا\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is 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. \nClose to four years after Aida’s passing away\, the director’s friend and colleague Tanya who lives in Ramallah came to visit Beirut. When she heard about Aida’s wishes and yearning for Yafa\, Tanya suggested that she herself carries the ashes back. The film accompanies director Carol Mansour as she engineers a way to return her mother to Yafa in search of eternal rest and peace for her. A return that is aided by an unlikely set of friends and strangers all coming together to facilitate what should have been a simple journey. This journey is at the same time very private and personal\, while resonating with hundreds of thousands of Alzheimer’s sufferers and their families as well as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees awaiting their return home. \nThis film is a tribute to the lost past of the director’s family\, an attempt to restore part of both an individual and a collective memory\, and a poetic nod and affirmation to all those exiled Palestinians forbidden from returning to their hometowns\, even after death. \n\n\nClick here to watch the film trailer. \nClick here to register for this event. \nWe will be screening a 20 minute-condensed pre-release version of the film.

SUMMARY:Movie (streaming) : Je Veux Voir + Barmeh
DESCRIPTION:The screenings presented in August highlight films by Hadjithomas and Joreige which have to do with vision and perception in post-war Lebanon. In Je Veux Voir (I Want to See)\, the filmmakers travel to Beirut with iconic French actress Catherine Deneuve. In the film\, she meets with artist and actor Rabih Mroué\, and together\, the two drive through the regions of Lebanon devastated by the 2006 war\, areas that remain inaccessible to most citizens. Through the presence and meeting of these two stars\, the filmmakers hope to find the beauty in Lebanon which the eye can no longer perceive.\n\nBarmeh (Rounds) is a video featuring Rabih Mroué\, filmed driving through the streets of the city. Beirut is evoked through the driver’s stories and through sound\, but the city is never seen; it is rendered invisible in an overexposed whiteness. Like his driving\, Mroué’s stories spin in a circle. He is like a ghost\, haunting the streets of a city where a reconstruction project is in a post-Civil War period.\n\nAvailable virtually US ONLY August 25–28\, 2022. TICKETS ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED. TICKETS

SUMMARY:Movie: 1982 at SIFF
DESCRIPTION:Lebanon | 2019 | 100 min. | Oualid Mouaness \n\n\n\n1982 is a life-affirming coming-of-age tale set at an idyllic school in Lebanon’s mountains on the eve of a looming invasion. It unfolds over a single day and follows an 11-year-oldboy’s relentless quest to profess his love to a girl in his class. As the invasion encroaches on Beirut\, it upends the day\, threatening the entire country and its cohesion. Within the microcosm of the school\, the film draws a harrowing portrait of a society torn between its desire for love and peace and the ideological schisms unraveling its seams. \nIn his debut feature\, Oualid Mouaness delivers an ode to innocence in which he revisits one of the most cataclysmic moments in Lebanon’s history through the lens of a child and his vibrant imagination. It demonstrates the complexities of love and war\, and the resilience of the human spirit. \n\n\n\nDirector:Oualid Mouaness\nPrincipal Cast:Nadine Labaki\, Mohamad Dalli\, Rodrigue Sleiman\, Aliya Khalidi\nCountry:Lebanon\, France\, Norway\, Qatar\, USA\nYear:2019\nRunning Time:100 min.\nAwards:TIFF19 Netpac Award\, Grand Prix Cannes Écrans Juniors 2021\, Oscars 2020 Official Selection (International Feature Film)\nLanguage:Arabic\, English\nHas Subtitles:Yes\nUS Distributor:Tricycle Logic (theatrical)\nInternational Sales:House Of Film

SUMMARY:Movie: Costa Brava at SIFF
DESCRIPTION:Lebanon | 2021 | 107 min. | Mounia Akl \nFilmed just a couple of months after the August 2020 Beirut port explosion that claimed more than 200 lives\, this film references an earlier crisis of government corruption and ineptitude\, the 2015 Beirut garbage crisis\, when the streets of the city were congested with uncollected trash. But it functions as both a general-purpose lamentation for Lebanon as well as an allegory for our global climate catastrophe. Soraya (Nadine Labaki) and Walid Badri (Saleh Bakri) long ago fled the pollution and dysfunction of Beirut to live off the grid in an idyllic mountain hideaway. Raising their two young daughters and caring for Walid’s elderly mother\, they have abandoned the political action with which they used to face the country’s problems—until the country’s problems come looking for them. One day\, representatives of the government arrive in the valley where the Badris live to begin construction of a new landfill. (“Don’t worry\,” they assure them\, “This will be a ‘green’ landfill.”) The construction gradually encroaches on the family’s property\, and the pile of garbage grows bigger. As toxic smoke fills the air and the water in the swimming pool turns blood-red\, tensions rise within the family. “Where will we run away to this time?” asks Soraya. A famous singer and activist in her younger years\, she is ready to take up the struggle again. Walid is not so sure. — Justine Barda \n\n\n\nDirector:Mounia Akl\nPrincipal Cast:Nadine Labaki\, Saleh Bakri\, Nadia Charbel\, Ceana Restom\, Geana Restom\nCountry:Lebanon\, France\, Spain\, Sweden\, Denmark\, Norway\, Qatar\nYear:2021\nRunning Time:107 min.\nProducer:Myriam Sassine\, Georges Schoucair\nScreenplay:Mounia Akl\, Clara Roquet\nCinematographers:Joe Saade\nEditors:Carlos Marques-Marcet\, Cyril Aris\nMusic:Nathan Larson\nAwards:London Film Festival 2021 (Audience Award: Best Film)\nLanguage:Arabic\nHas Subtitles:Yes\nUS Distributor:Kino Lorber\nInternational Sales:mk2 Films

SUMMARY:NWFF Movie:  Boycott (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:When a news publisher in Arkansas\, an attorney in Arizona\, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs\, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across 33 states in America.\nBoycott traces the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individuals and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights record. A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story\, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.

SUMMARY:NWFF Movie:  Boycott (in person)
DESCRIPTION:When a news publisher in Arkansas\, an attorney in Arizona\, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs\, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across 33 states in America.\nBoycott traces the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individuals and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights record. A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story\, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.\n  \nWatch in person: Sep. 29 at 6:30pm

Salim claims that he was trying to regain possession of his family house. Hanna saves him from a jail sentence\, but he is deported to Jordan. Salim eventually returns\, is jailed for illegal immigration\, and he again asks for her services.
