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.

SUMMARY:AANM Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Arab American National Museum proudly hosts its annual Arab Film Festival (AFF)\, featuring fascinating new titles from one of the most prolific and creative set of filmmakers on the planet. AFF is one of the Museum’s longest-running programs\, dating back to its inception in 2005. \nAFF showcases Arab and Arab American films for fans of Arabic-language movies and adventurous art-film lovers seeking new perspectives and outside-the-box thinking. Many of these films by both Arab world and Arab American artists are\, with few exceptions\, unlikely to reach traditional American commercial theaters. Genres include drama\, comedy and documentary\, in both short-form and feature lengths. Every festival film is subtitled in English\, making them accessible to all. \nThe Arab Film Festival strives to bring you the absolute best films from the Arab world and Arab American community to your doorstep with many films making their Michigan and/or U.S. debut. \nWe pride ourselves on creating a safe space\, a platform for Arab and Arab American films and filmmakers and to give a voice to Arab and Arab American artists and their stories. \nThis year’s Arab Film Festival will be taking place both online and in-person from November 1-7\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Arab Film Festival 2021
DESCRIPTION:We are putting the finishing touches to AFF2021’s schedule and can’t wait to share it! In the meantime\, here’s a little preview of what’s coming: \n\nA selection of shorts from Iraq and Lebanon\nOur annual Queer Lens\nAward winning features including Moss Agate\, Our River…Our Sky\, and 200 Meters\nA spotlight on documentaries directed by women\nand more!\n\nMoss Agate (Lebanon\, 2021)\nBeirut\, summer 2019.  The filmmaker experiences a descent into the abyss. His health is at stake and his film community is falling apart.  His actress friend Tamara is the last one to leave… \nOur River…Our Sky (Iraq\, 2020)\nIn a typically mixed Baghdadi neighborhood in 2006\, a community of ordinary people try to live their everyday lives amidst the threat of unpredictable violence. At the heart of these intersecting stories we find Sara\, a single mother and novelist. With the news of Saddam Hussein’s sudden execution shortly before the New Year\, Sara and her neighbors brace themselves for an uncertain future. Yet\, like a miracle\, each is able to sustain a fragile sense of hope. \n200 Meters (Palestine\, 2020)\nMustafa and his wife Salwa live 200 meters apart in villages separated by the Israeli border wall. One day he gets a call every parent dreads: his son has been injured in an accident. Rushing to cross the Israeli checkpoint\, Mustafa is denied on a technicality. But a father’s love won’t give up and he will do anything to reach his son. A 200 meter distance becomes a 200 kilometer odyssey\, as Mustafa\, left with no choice\, attempts to smuggle himself to the other side of the wall.

SUMMARY:Freedom Film Series #5: To Treat Kids Like Me (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:“To Treat Kids Like Me:” Dec 12 screening & discussion\, sponsored by Donkeysaddle Projects\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nWith severe medicine shortages and an overstretched health care system in Gaza\, children in need of medical treatments can only find them outside the strip. Yet Israel’s convoluted\, arbitrary permit process leaves them waiting in pain\, often missing life-saving care. To Treat Kids Like Me (produced by Donkeysaddle Projects and +972 Magazine) follows the family of Mohamed Saleh and several other children in the Gaza Strip as they navigate the often Kafqaesqe process of getting permission from the Israeli army to leave the besieged strip for medical treatments that are unavailable there. \nThe 5th offering in DSP’s Freedom Film Series will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Jen Marlowe and special guests: \n\nGhada Majadli: Director of the Physicians for Human Rights-Israel department for Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT); featured in To Treat Kids Like Me.\nMohamed Lafi: Public health professional working for the World Health Organization in the OPT\, with a focus on access to health care for patients who need to seek care outside the OPT.\nFadi Abu Shammalah: Manager of Donkeysaddle’s Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project; has been DSP’s on-the-ground support for Mohamad Salah (who is featured in To Treat Kids Like Me)\nMiranda Cleland: Communications Manager for Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP). DCIP documents cases like Mohamed’s where Israeli forces kill or injure Palestinian children.\n\nTickets by donation. 50% of ticket proceeds go to Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project\, including Mohamad Salah’s medical care. \nCo-sponsored by Just Vision & Defense for Children International-Palestine

SUMMARY:Route 181: Fragments of a Journey In Palestine-Israel\, a three-part film
DESCRIPTION:To kick off the winter 2022 season\, we present Route 181: Fragments of a Journey In Palestine-Israel\, a three-part film with a focus on daily life in Palestine. \nIn the summer of 2002\, Eyal Sivan and Michel Khleifi travel together from the south to the north of their country of birth; they traced their trajectory on a map and called it ROUTE 181. This virtual line follows the borders outlined in Resolution 181\, which was adopted by the United Nations in 1947 to partition Palestine into two states. \nAs they travel\, Khleifi and Sivan meet a multitude of characters\, each of which has their own way of evoking the frontiers that separate them from their neighbors: concrete\, barbed-wire\, cynicism\, humor\, indifference\, suspicion\, aggression; frontiers have been built on the hills and in the plains\, on mountains and in valleys but above all\, in the collective unconscious of both societies. \nJAN 26–30\, 2022\nPART ONE: THE SOUTH\n\nFrom Ashdod to Gaza. Sivan and Khleifi begin their cinematic journey through the southern parts of Palestine-Israel\, interviewing a juice seller\, a candy seller\, an engineer\, and a manager\, gaining perspectives from Israelis and Palestinians about everyday life. They visit a kibbutz\, travel to Gaza\, and hear residents’ understandings of the Zionist project alongside discussions of Palestinians’ right to return. Their task as filmmakers is to document\, to convey what is desired and what is experienced\, to distinguish people’s dreams from political projects\, to hear what one wants to forget\, and to listen to the other–this is how the journey begins.\n\n\nScreening IN-PERSON at Trylon Cinema on Wednesday\, Jan 26\, 2022 at 7pm. TICKETS\n\nAvailable VIRTUALLY Jan 27–30\, 2022 in the US ONLY. TICKETS

SUMMARY:Unpacking the ArteArchive Online Film Program: Four Films
DESCRIPTION:This film series includes a cult-classic from the archives\, an essay film exploring the nature of archiving\, and three experiments in transmission: celluloid\, CGI\, and the mosalsalat. They are examples of imagining otherwise\, in a region where feminist histories remain on the margins. \n\nIn South West Asia and North Africa\, there are historical records of women’s cinema since the 1920s. However\, a lack of state funding for archival projects\, as well as factors such as conflict and war\, mean that we often encounter these films only through written accounts. The films themselves are inaccessible\, or more often damaged or lost. \nFeminist history is subversive\, and often excluded from mainstream historiographies. Since the 1970s\, many women have made films about archiving practice\, or their own cultural histories\, which have been erased from popular imagination. In more recent times\, digital technology has become a mode of reconstructing stories in the absence of archival material\, as well as a tool to undertake more ambitious restoration projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nTHE NOUBA WOMEN OF MOUNT CHENOUA\, Assia Djebar\, Algeria\,1977\, 115 min\, 35mm-to-digital.In Arabic and French w/ English subtitles \n  \nKHTOBTOGONE\, Sara Sadik\, France\, 2021\, 16 min\, digital.

SUMMARY:Film: Route 181: Fragments of a Journey In Palestine-Israel\, the Center

The second part of Route 181 begins in the Center for New Immigrants in Lod\, as Russian musicians play melodies from Eastern Europe to greet new immigrants who have just arrived from Ethiopia. The scene is a bit chaotic\, a bit mundane\, and a bit perplexing. This part of the film discusses building settlements and the destruction of former towns and homes\, encountering tourists\, artists\, scholars\, and soldiers. Capturing the experiences of everyday people\, this installment exposes the dangers and hope we might find in the historical narratives we tell.\n\n\nScreening IN-PERSON at Trylon Cinema on Wednesday\, Feb 23\, 2022 at 7pm. TICKETS\n\nAvailable virtually Feb 24–27\, 2022 in the US ONLY. TICKETS

SUMMARY:Mohamed Soueid Retrospective:  Movie Series
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by ArteEast and Anthology Film Archives\, and curated by Giovanni Vimercati\, this series is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive\, which preserves and presents over 17 years of film and video programming by ArteEast.  \n  \nVideo pioneer\, cinema auteur\, and television producer Mohamed Soueid has collected stories from his compatriots for most of his adult life. Widely regarded as Beirut’s first video artist\, Soueid films defy categorization. \nhttps://arteeast.org/news-events/mohamad-soueid-retrospective/ \nMOHAMED SOUEID RETROSPECTIVE \nOnline Screening: March 3-13 \nFree / $5 suggested donation \nRSVP at artearchive.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINEMA FOUAD \n1994\, 41 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“A documentary on the life and ambitions of a young Lebanese cross-dresser\, the video follows her journey from soldier to cabaret dancer in an effort to raise funds for her sex change operation. Shot in Beirut\, CINEMA FOUAD weaves a complex and multi-layered story of sexuality\, identity\, and desire\, and paints a compelling portrait of its subject.” \n–THIRD WORLD NEWSREEL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTANGO OF YEARNING \n1998\, 70 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nOne of Soueid’s finest and most representative cinematographic achievements\, TANGO OF \nYEARNING melancholically exemplifies the relational essence of his cinema. It is at once a film about love (for cinema\, for life and its characters)\, about Soueid’s work for the Lebanese state broadcaster Tele Liban\, and about the mysterious death of the Egyptian Jewish actress Camelia. \n  \nThe film’s sinuous and free-flowing shape is not so much a rejection of the linear narratives of realism\, but an acknowledgment of reality’s unmoored dynamics and the role memory plays in \nits construction. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNIGHTFALL / INDAMA YA’ATI AL-MASA \n2000\, 68 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“On the surface\, NIGHTFALL is a semi-autobiographical reconstruction of the militant years of Fatah’s Student Brigade; a series of conversations and interviews between the director and his \nold comrades\, most of whom spend their time meditating their movement’s defeat in a state of drunken incoherence. Throughout NIGHTFALL\, Soueid remains uncompromisingly bleak about the state of the Palestinian revolution at the turn of the new millennium. It is not just the individual militants who now suffer from a crisis of identity\, but the very slogans of the struggle \nitself – and thus\, its history. What is to be recovered\, then\, from the ramblings of these old Maoists?” \n– Francesco Anselmetti\, SAFAR JOURNAL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER / MA HATAFTU LI GHAYRIHA \n2008\, 87 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nThrough the story of a son reconstructing his father’s revolutionary past from a diary\, Soueid draws a portrait of two generations of men\, fathers and sons\, who were revolutionaries of the 1970s. This is a poetic flight in time\, back to when young men dreamed of changing the world \nwith their own hands\, and forward to a present where young men just want the security of a salaried job. At the same time\, MY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER is a film about Lebanon’s schizophrenic modern history\, caught in between the neoliberal lure of financial capitalism and the internationalist dreams of revolution. Between its sudden kindness and unforeseen brutality. \nBetween Hong Kong and Hanoi. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE INSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER \n2020\, 170 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nSoueid’s magnus opus\, a gargantuan flux that is both timeless and multi-temporal\, THE \nINSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER amalgamates the past into the present\, and from the schizophrenic streets of Beirut opens onto the world: the world that a Middle East Airlines captain has traveled and now remembers from his patio\, but also the world of boundless love one of Soueid’s friends has for the Egyptian singer and actress Souad Hosny. In order to fall asleep\, the director asked his friends and artistic accomplices to tell him stories\, resulting in a film of rarefied\, oneiric beauty.
