SUMMARY:Mirrors of Diaspora (2018) - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mirrors of Diaspora is a multi-character story of seven Iraqi artists with more than forty years of exile\, creativity\, alienation\, memories\, nostalgia\, survivals\, and war between them. \nOn the 15th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq\, Mirrors of Diaspora explores themes of exile\, creativity\, identity and war told through the lives of seven Iraqi artists living outside the country of their birth for close to half a century. The artists featured in this documentary belong to a group known as ‘Iraqi Artists in Exile’. \nFilmed over three decades\, this ambitious project explores their challenges\, failures and successes\, both as artists and in their private lives: from the time they graduated from art school in the 1970s\, working as street artists in the piazzas of Rome and Florence\, to becoming well-known. The central question the film poses is: what are the consequences of spending most of one’s life in exile? \nAt a time of unprecedented global migration when barely a day passes without a tragic story played out in the international media\, Mirrors of Diaspora contributes to greater understanding of one of the defining issues of our time. \n~90 minute run time

SUMMARY:Movie: 1982 - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:1982 (2019)\n\nIn June of 1982\, Israel invaded Lebanon\, which was already reeling from its ongoing civil war. In his feature debut\, director Oualid Mouaness revisits this cataclysmic moment in Lebanese history through a different lens. At a private school on the outskirts of Beirut\, as the geopolitical conflict inches closer and closer\, 11-year-old Wissam (Mohamad Dalli) is more intent on finding the courage to tell his classmate he loves her. For a dreamer like Wissam\, who is more likely to be drawing than playing football\, it’s hard to comprehend the gravity of the impending violence. But for his teachers\, Yesmine (Nadine Labaki) and Joseph (Rodrigue Sleiman)\, the jets in the sky signal something greater. As they try to mask their growing fears for the sake of the students\, they also attempt to hide the fractures in their relationship\, as they fall on different sides of the political divide. Mouaness\, who also wrote the script\, splits the film between these two perspectives; that of the adults and that of the children\, to explore the complexities of love and war. —Toronto International Film Festival \nRun Time: 1 hr 40 minutes

SUMMARY:Sex Is Work - Two Documentaries by Elliat Graney-Saucke
DESCRIPTION:Screening of Conflict of Identity (Berlin Identities) and the US Culture Wars (Christian Right and Gender/Sex Radicals)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRE-RECORDED \nScreening two short documentaries by Elliat Graney-Saucke. The first is Conflict of Identity that considers mixed cultural realities in Berlin\, Germany\, including Afro-German Femme Performer and Palestinian-Israeli Sex Worker Performance Artist. This will be followed by a short about the US Culture Wars and defunding of the National Endowment for the Arts in the 1990s by the New Christian Right. This session begins: Screening will start on July 22 at midnight PDT / 9am CEST and be available for 24 hours (until July 22\, 11:59pm PDT / July 23\, 8:59am CEST). \nThis event is part of the the online bashment that is not only a birthday celebration for The BSWC’s founder MF Akynos: it will be 22 hours of non-stop edutainment! Bridging the gap between sex work and other forms of labor and human rights issues\, our aim is to raise awareness and give support to sex workers and other freelance artists/laborers being left out of financial plans from local government. \n‘Who’s Allowed To Make Money?’ when government and policy only recognizes some workers and not all\, vulnerable workers are left without rights\, protections\, and supports. Restricting sex workers to the margins\, outside of what is considered “real work\,” prevents us from participating in labor struggles\, as well as limits our access to the protections guaranteed to other workers. Because of current regulatory and conceptual frameworks of sex work as “not real work” our profession has unnecessary impacts on our legal status\, health\, housing and food security\, and our families. \nTo raise awareness of these issues The BSWC invites you to help us raise $43\,000 which will directly support US based sex workers and freelancers who are being impacted by COVID-19\, and who have been excluded from accessing other supports intended for workers. \nArtists and performers across Australia\, Canada\, Europe and the US will take part in this groundbreaking\, one-of-a-kind\, non-stop party and education fest. Experience DJs\, burlesque showcases\, workshops\, symposiums\, film screenings\, poetry readings and other forms of engagement in streams that can be seen at different hours across continents. \nIt’s a one-day only\, 22 hour event that you don’t want to miss! Sign up to attend each performance separately\, your ticket is for the performance of your choice. Each ticket includes information on how to access your event. Check back here for the schedule as it is updated\, and don’t forget to purchase a T-shirt to support the event and the BSWC! We have lots of other ways to support on our website as well\, so check in there at www.TheBSWC.org

SUMMARY:Movie screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising\, a Just Vision documentary\, with the Deputy Director and a Producer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin Museum of the Palestinian People for a special film screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising with Just Vision’s Deputy Director\, Emma Alpert and one of the film’s producers\, Rula Salameh. \nNaila and the Uprising is a documentary film about a nation-wide uprising that breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories\, and the story of a young woman in Gaza who must make a choice between love\, family\, and freedom. Undaunted\, she embraces all three\, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the first time. Naila and the Uprising chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines\, whose stories weave through the most vibrant\, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s. You can watch the trailer\, here. \nThe film will be available for registrants to view at their own convenience prior to our discussion with Emma and Rula on Zoom on Friday\, August 28 at 12pm EDT.

Twelve women\, twelve life-spans and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world\, but is now embroidered on its face.

SUMMARY:Free Film Screening “My Neighborhood”
DESCRIPTION:Free Online Virtual Event \nClick Here to Register for Event. Free Event but Registration is Required. \nClick here to view the film trailer. \nSYNOPSIS \nMohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11\, his family is forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers\, who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area. \nShortly after their displacement\, Mohammed’s family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions\, determined not to lose their homes for good. In a surprising turn\, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name. Among them is Jewish West Jerusalem resident Zvi Benninga and his sister Sara\, who develop a strong relationship with Mohammed and his family as they take on a leading role in organizing the protests. \nThrough their personal stories\, My Neighbourhood goes beyond the sensational headlines that normally dominate discussions of Jerusalem and captures voices rarely heard\, of those striving for a shared future in the city. \nMy Neighbourhood follows Mohammed as he comes of age in the midst of unrelenting tension and remarkable cooperation in his backyard. Highlighting Mohammed’s own reactions to the highly volatile situation\, reflections from family members and other evicted residents\, accounts of Israeli protesters and interviews with Israeli settlers\, the film chronicles the resolve of a neighbourhood and the support it receives from the most unexpected of places. \nMy Neighbourhood is directed and produced by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi\, who documented Mohammed’s story over two years\, and acclaimed filmmaker Julia Bacha. It is the latest production by Just Vision\, an award-winning team of Palestinian\, Israeli\, North and South American filmmakers\, journalists and human rights advocates dedicated to telling the stories of Israelis and Palestinians working nonviolently to achieve security\, freedom and peace.
