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

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.

SUMMARY:Movie: Gaza Fights for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:This debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine\, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockaded border. \nThis collaboration shows you Gaza’s protest movement like you’ve never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March Of Return protests\, it features riveting exclusive footage of demonstrations. \nThe documentary tells the story of Gaza past and present\, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. You hear from victims of the ongoing massacre\, including journalists\, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic\, Razan al-Najjar. \nAt its core\, ‘Gaza Fights For Freedom’ is a thorough indictment of the Israeli military for war crimes\, and a stunning cinematic portrayal of Palestinians’ heroic resistance. \nDirected\, Written & Narrated by Abby Martin

SUMMARY:Film Screening:  There is a Field
DESCRIPTION:Free Film Screening “There is a Field”\n\nSaturday\, November 7\, 2020\n12:00 PM  2:00 PM EST\n\n\nClick Here to Register for Event. \nClick here to view the film trailer. \nThe film screening will be followed by a live discussion with film director Jen Marlowe. \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\, Jewish supremacy and white supremacy—root causes of state-sanctioned violence and structural racism.
