Movie: The Teacher
2025-05-03 17:00 - 19:00, 2025-05-03 19:10 - 21:00 | Cententa Films, 3800 Finnerty Road University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, V8P 5C2, Canada
The title character is Basem El-Saleh (Saleh Bakri), a divorced man who teaches in a school on the West Bank where most of his male students have already spent time in Israeli detention centers. Two of those students, Yacoub and Adam, are brothers, with Yacoub a brawny type who doesn’t do well in school and Adam his studious younger brother. They come home one day after school to find that their house is being demolished by the Israelis, who then present them with a bill and threaten to throw them in jail if they can’t pay… “The Teacher” is charged, angry and incredulous about the injustices and indignities visited upon Palestinians there; it’s an effective polemic that views the situation through a variety of characters from a single perspective. Nabulsi struggles to hold it all together at times, but she hasn’t lost her ability to tell a big story through smaller individual journeys. And while her movie flirts with happier resolutions, it’s not interested in hanging on to false hopes for long. – The Wrap

THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today.
Filmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today.
“What makes THE ENCAMPMENTS artistically triumphant is its sense of contemporary and historical detail, owed to both footage shot by the filmmakers, as well as by the protesters themselves. In the process, co-directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T. Workman craft a work of cinema that’s as rigorously journalistic in its arguments as it is nakedly sentimental.” – IndieWire
“This is more than a student protest—it’s a generational struggle for justice. Students have always led the charge for justice, from the sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement to the campus protests against South African apartheid. The encampments that started at Columbia are part of that legacy, inspiring millions of people around the world. The film ensures the students in US and Gaza are heard, their actions are remembered, and the fight for Palestinian liberation continues.” – Macklemore
“Khalil remains detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana amid a legal battle to prevent his deportation from the U.S. after the Trump administration ordered his removal… The legal challenge to Khalil might ultimately come down to the Supreme Court, which would decide how far the secretary of state can determine whether a permanent resident can be removed for speech.” – Axios

Movie: Leila and the Wolves at the Beacon
2025-05-04 17:00 - 19:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
Forty years ago, this landmark film by Lebanese director Heiny Srour (THE HOUR OF LIBERATION HAS ARRIVED) centred the less visible stories and histories of women’s resistance in Lebanon and Palestine through an audacious feminist rewriting. Now re-emerging in a new restoration, LEILA AND THE WOLVES revolves around the eponymous Leila (Nabila Zeitouni), a London-based Lebanese woman who, in pondering her future within the limits of the patriarchal imagination, begins to question the long-hidden roles that women have had in Arab history, including how they entwine with the Palestinian resistance movement.
A photography exhibition, organised by a male friend and chronicling the Palestinian struggle, intrigues Leila further. When she questions why there are only photographs of men, he responds casually that women simply weren’t present. Leila’s visceral rejection of this response sets her on a time-travelling journey from the early 1900s to the 1980s, as well as into her own future – or what it will be like if she merely accepts women’s lack of historical agency.
LEILA AND THE WOLVES weaves together fictional drama, memory, myth and archival footage (from sources ranging from the films of Palestinian director Mai Masri to the archives of UNRWA and the Imperial War Museum) to conjure images of active, activist and defiant women – a restitution of sorts, which reverberates around the world. In an interview from 2020, the filmmaker says: “Nowadays, LEILA is travelling the world again, more relevant than ever; my unconscious and the collective unconscious of the women of the Middle East spoke together throughout the extreme conditions of making this film.”
“Heiny Srour’s LEILA AND THE WOLVES is a film of monumental resolve and ambition, determined to address the contradictions within the anti-colonial struggle. With a single actress playing multiple characters in different historical moments, the film dispenses with teleological linearity to emphasize the recurrence of oppression and the consequent need for constant and multifarious opposition. Its restored relevance is not only thematic but methodological: here’s a film that defiantly disregards any moralist binary of good versus evil, us versus them, to champion the immense and composite task that is liberation from all shackles, wherever and whomever we are.” – Celluloid Liberation Front

These stories reflect the painful reality of thousands of Palestinian families separated by borders, politics, and war.
