SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Tel Aviv on Fire  - Won Best of SIFF!
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Tel Aviv on Fire (Palestinian Director)\nThis movie won for people’s choice!  So is playing again! \nIn this clever comedy from writer/director Sameh Zoabi\, Salam is a hapless 30-something production assistant on his uncle’s TV show\, a popular Palestinian soap opera called “Tel Aviv On Fire.” Set in 1967\, just a few months before the start of the Six-Day War\, the show is a huge hit with audiences on both sides of the divide. Things start looking up for Salam when an offhand remark impresses the show’s star and results in his promotion to writer. The promotion even impresses Miriam\, Salam’s ex-girlfriend\, whom he hopes to win back. Living in Jerusalem\, he must pass through the Ramallah checkpoint every day to get to the studio. One day he’s interrogated by Israeli military commander Assi\, whose wife just happens to be a huge fan of the show. Assi is full of ideas for improving the script (and impressing his wife)\, which works to Salam’s advantage—until Assi and the show’s producers want to take the story in distinctly different directions. With the season finale looming\, it’s up to Salam to figure out a resolution that will keep everyone happy. \n— Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nSameh Zoabi was born in 1975 in Iskal\, a Palestinian village near the city of Nazareth. He graduated from Tel Aviv University with a dual degree in Film Studies and English Literature before earning a Fulbright Fellowship to earn his MFA in Filmmaking from Columbia University in 2005. With films like Tel Aviv On Fire (2018)\, Zoabi seeks to invoke humor in difficult narratives\, stating\, “We talk about Palestine being a place that is very hard\, but I always remember people laughing all the time.” In addition to filmmaking\, Zoabi is an adjunct professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts\, Hunter College\, and Columbia University’s MFA program\, teaching courses in direction\, production\, and screenwriting.\n \nSponsored by Diageo Americas\, Inc.\, The Fools \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/tel-aviv-on-fire \nThursday\, May 30\, 2019\, AMC Pacific Place\, 7pm \nFriday\, May 31\, 2019\, SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 3:30pm

SUMMARY:Movie Showing:  Free Trip to Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Tarek Mounib\, of Zurich\, had an inspiration to invite people who are afraid/opposed/don’t understand Islam\, or the people and places of the Middle East\, to a FREE TRIP TO EGYPT. There they would meet the families\, eat the food\, walk in the neighborhoods and otherwise just get to spend time with people who have been portrayed and vilified as “the other”. And Tarek\, a young man born in Canada\, raised in Egypt\, educated in both\, would film what happened. \nHe’s done it! Kindness Films will show Tarek’s film Free Trip to Egypt in 500 theaters across the country on June 12\, 2019. (The film will play longer in New York and LA.) \n  \nThis is citizen diplomacy and peacemaking of the highest order. Through this movie we can see the change in people’s hearts and minds. \nYou can watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OitVw2gE6aQ&t=7s \n  \nAll shows are at 7:00pm on June 12 \n\nRegal Bella Bottega 11 Cinema\, 8890 NE 161st Avenue\, Redmond\, WA 98052\nRegal Thorton Place 14\, 316 NE Thorton Place\, Seattle\, WA 98125\nAMC Pacific Place\, 600 Pine Street\, Seattle\, WA 98101-1712\n\n  \nBook your tickets here: https://www.fathomevents.com/events/free-trip-to-egypt

SUMMARY:ArabishWay Story Time/Circle Time  - Kirkland Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Join us for ArabishWay Story Time with Laila Taji on Thursday\, June 11th from 10:30am-11am.   \nThis half hour circle time will be full of Arabic stories\, Arabic songs and Arabic games! \nLaila Taji is an American of Palestinian heritage. She has an MPH in public health from the University of Washington and currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two girls. She loved watching her kids blossom into readers but struggled to make that happen in Arabic since most books are complex and written in formal Arabic. She wrote These Chicks to give her kids an early Arabic reading experience and to connect them with their Arabic heritage.  \n\nThese Chicks (هالصيصان) is a beloved nursery rhyme\, well-known in the Levant; much like Hey Diddle Diddle in the States. This board book is ideal for toddlers\, the easy-to-read Arabic print is perfect for blossoming Arabic readers and the English transliteration and translation aids non-Arab speakers or not-so confident Arabic readers.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - What Walaa Wants
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – What Walaa Wants (About Palestine)\nGrowing up in Balata\, a refugee camp in the West Bank\, Walaa dreams of being a police officer with the Palestinian National Authority\, the entity governing the Palestinian territories. This documentary follows her progress over five years\, from ages 15 to 21\, as she pursues that goal. She’s got her work cut out for her; rebellious and headstrong\, she is often at odds with those around her. She doesn’t adapt easily to the discipline of basic training or the tough love of her commanding officer. At home\, a complicated relationship with her mother poses its own challenges (she was 7 when her mother was sent to prison\, convicted of helping a would-be suicide bomber). And the outside world in which she lives her daily life is one of uncertainty\, repression\, and violence. But despite these obstacles\, Walaa is tenacious; she is charting her own path and struggling to follow it. With remarkable access to her subject at home\, at school\, and at work\, in interactions with family\, friends\, and colleagues\, filmmaker Christy Garland tells the story of a young woman determined to take charge of her life. \n— Justine Barda \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/what-walaa-wants \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 1:30pm \nTuesday\, June 4\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 9:30pm \nWednesday\, June 5\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 4pm

SUMMARY:Seattle Arts and Lectures:  Solmaz Sharif
DESCRIPTION:This is a reading by Solmaz Sharif. \nSharif is the author of the poetry collection LOOK\, a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award and the winner of the 2017 American Book Award for Poetry. \nSharif’s LOOK\, asks us to see the ongoing costs of war as the unbearable loss of human lives and the insidious abuses against our everyday speech. In this virtuosic array of poems\, lists\, shards\, and sequences\, Sharif assembles her family’s and her own fragmented narratives in the aftermath of warfare. Those repercussions echo into the present day\, in the grief for those killed in America’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq\, and in the discrimination endured at the checkpoints of daily encounter.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - For Sama
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – For Sama (Syrian Director\, about Syria)\nWinner of both the Audience Award and Grand Jury Award for Documentary at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival\, For Sama stands as both a harrowing witness to the Syrian tragedy as it unfolded in Aleppo and a touching love letter from a mother to her young child. While the bombs are falling across her city\, director Waad al-Kateab films her first-person diaristic letter to her recently born daughter Sama\, uncertain she will survive long enough for Sama to know her mother outside of the videos she shoots. Unsparing in its details and unflinching in what it captures\, al-Kateab’s work reveals the brutal impact of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s civil war\, relaying its impact in palpably humanistic terms. Both in the home they share and at the hospital where Waad’s husband labors as a direct responder to those affected by the daily violence\, al-Kateab’s camera captures the human cost of life under perpetual conflict more directly and powerfully than perhaps any other film since Five Broken Cameras. To quote Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter\, “The result is a series of deeply powerful images showing the human casualties of a war that most of us witnessed from our TV sets or computer screens.” \n  \nDirector Biography \nWaad Al-Kateab is a documentary filmmaker who became a citizen journalist in 2011\, after protests broke out across Syria against the Assad regime. In 2016\, she began documenting the Syrian conflict in a series of films titled “Inside Aleppo.” These news reports received almost half-a-billion views online\, and won 24 awards\, including the 2016 International Emmy for breaking news coverage. She and her family were eventually evacuated from Aleppo in 2016. For Sama is her first feature film. Edward Watts is an Emmy award-winning\, BAFTA-nominated filmmaker who has directed over 20 narrative and documentary films that illuminate the resilience of the human spirit despite harrowing circumstances. \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/for-sama \nSunday\, June 2\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 6:30pm \n\n\nMonday\, June 3\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 4pm

While the bombs are falling across her city\, director Waad al-Kateab films her first-person diaristic letter to her recently born daughter Sama\, uncertain she will survive long enough for Sama to know her mother outside of the videos she shoots. Unsparing in its details and unflinching in what it captures\, al-Kateab’s work reveals the brutal impact of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s civil war\, relaying its impact in palpably humanistic terms. Both in the home they share and at the hospital where Waad’s husband labors as a direct responder to those affected by the daily violence\, al-Kateab’s camera captures the human cost of life under perpetual conflict more directly and powerfully than perhaps any other film since Five Broken Cameras. To quote Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter\, “The result is a series of deeply powerful images showing the human casualties of a war that most of us witnessed from our TV sets or computer screens.” \n  \nDirector Biography \nWaad Al-Kateab is a documentary filmmaker who became a citizen journalist in 2011\, after protests broke out across Syria against the Assad regime.
