SUMMARY:Cancelled: Crescendo at SIFF
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled! \nAs part of a peace summit\, a world-famous German conductor (Peter Simonischek; THE INTERPRETER\, SJFF 2019) creates an orchestra of specially chosen Israeli and Palestinian youth musicians. But can music overcome the feelings of mistrust and suspicion striking chords and shrill notes onstage and off? It takes all the conductor’s skill and resources—and divulging his own tragic story—to overcome the discord and teach them how to achieve harmony\, leading to a tense and emotional finale. \nAcademy Award-nominated director Dror Zahavi has united an impressive supporting cast of Israeli and Palestinian non-actors playing the students into a convincing ensemble\, who fight\, argue\, laugh\, and make music together in this dramatic\, humanist hymn about forgiveness\, reconciliation\, and the astounding power of music. \nWinner of the 2019 Audience Prize at the Festival of German Film. \nDror Zahavi | Drama | Germany\, Israel\, Italy | 2019 | English\, German w/English subtitles | 112m \nRating: PG-13 \nSpecial Guest Intro and performance by Bram Schenck\, principal clarinetist for Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra and member of the National Youth Orchestra

SUMMARY:Queen Naija at Marymoor Park
DESCRIPTION:As a little girl growing up outside Detroit\, Queen Naija started singing in church at the age of three and writing her own songs in third grade. Although she kept up with her singing and songwriting as she got older—and even cut a few records in a local studio—her focus shifted when she and her former husband found fame online with their wildly popular YouTube channel. But when their marriage fell apart last year\, Queen returned to her lifelong passion and released a powerfully unapologetic single that shares her side of the story.

SUMMARY:Seffarine: Edmonds City Park Concert
DESCRIPTION:Seffarine’s international blend of sounds features soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp. Their music embraces and extends Naki’s rich heritage\, which spans from Moorish Spain to the Sahara\, by mixing Arabic Andalusi music with Manuel Gutierrez’s explosive flamenco footwork\, the grooves of acclaimed bassist Damian Erskine and the exotic instrumentation of Persian master multi-instrumentalist Bobak Salehi. These diverse backgrounds meld into an intoxicating blend of ancient and modern that Bass Player Magazine describes as a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz”. \n\nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square in Lamiae’s home city of Fes\, Morocco. Her family is well known in the Seffarine as master metalworkers continuing the tradition today. The square dates back to the 9th century and is famous for the complex rhythms that can be heard from the blacksmiths’ hammers.

His soaring technique\, melodic ingenuity\, and unparalleled grace have earned him international acclaim as a virtuoso on the ‘oud and violin. As a composer\, Shaheen has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, Meet the Composer\, the Jerome Foundation\, Continental Harmony\, and Yellow Springs Institute. In addition to performing with his two bands\, Qantara and the Near Eastern Music Ensemble\, Shaheen tours as a solo artist internationally and as a lecturer throughout the academic world promoting awareness to Arab music through numerous lectures and workshop presentations. Shaheen is currently an instructor at Berklee School of Music\, and directs the Arabic Music Retreat each summer at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. \nNaomi Shihab Nye was born in St. Louis\, Missouri.

The Poetry Foundation named Nye the Young People’s Poet Laureate for 2019 to 2021\, making her the first Arab American to earn this honor. Known for poetry that lends a fresh perspective to ordinary events\, people\, and objects\, Nye’s experience of both cultural difference and different cultures has influenced much of her work. Nye is also considered one of the leading female poets of the American Southwest. In addition to poetry\, Nye has written fiction for children\, poetry and song recordings\, and poetry translations. She has also published a book of essays and edited several anthologies.

SUMMARY:Free Virtual Screening of the Film "Recollection" by Palestinian Director Kamal Aljafari
DESCRIPTION:To register for this event please click here. \nTo view the film trailer please click here. \nThe following description is by Shimrit Lee writing for Warscapes.com \nAbout the Film \n\n\n\n\nKamal Aljafari remembers when Jaffa was transformed into civil war-torn Beirut. Under the direction of Menachem Golan\, the production team of The Delta Force (1986) created urban mayhem\, arranging for the explosion of real buildings in the staging of a fictional battle. Aljafari recalls standing on the side of the road with a group of other children\, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of Chuck Norris racing by in a van with the name of their school\, “St. Joseph\,” printed on the door. Years later\, while flipping through television channels in a hotel room in London\, Aljafari was shocked to recognize this scene. He sat on the bed mesmerized\, not by the action shots but by the background: a clear documentation of the Jaffa of his childhood\, a city which has since been destroyed\, renovated\, gentrified and rebuilt beyond recognition. \nAljafari’s latest film Recollection is composed entirely of footage from Israeli and American fiction features shot in Jaffa from the 1960s to the 1990s\, primarily of the so-called bourekas genre that dramatized tense romantic relationships between Mizrahi male “thugs” and Ashkenazi female elites. Jaffa provided the perfect setting to construct new Israeli narratives on top of emptied Palestinian ruins. As Aljafari explains\, Palestinians were effectively “uprooted in reality and in fiction.” In Recollection\, Aljafari removes the Israeli actors to give the stage to the people who appear by chance in the background of these shots\, including both Palestinians and Iraqi Jews who were settled in the city\, enacting what he describes as “cinematic justice.” \nAljafari was born in neighboring Ramle in 1972 and later emigrated to Germany to attend film school. His previous films include The Roof (2006)\, which follows him on a return visit to the homes of his parents and grandmother in Palestine\, and Port of Memory (2009)\, which traces the eviction of his mother’s family from their home in Ajami. Aljafari’s dark humor and silent communication style liken his work to that of Palestinian filmmakers Elia Sulieman and Michel Khleifi. \nUnlike his previous films\, Recollection has no central protagonist. Aljafari moves through the found-footage\, creating the illusion of a dreamer sleep-walking through the city with a handheld camera. While Aljafari sometimes describes this unseen cameraman as himself\, each excavated memory is shared\, belonging to his grandfather\, his mother\, his neighbors\, and others who cannot return. Each footstep holds a certain urgency; as Aljafari explains\, “I walk everywhere\, sometimes hesitant and sometimes lost. I wander through the city; I wander through the memories. I film everything I encounter because I know it no longer exists. I return to a lost time.”
