SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Funke
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Funke (Arab director)\nn 2015\, Evan Funke was one of the brightest stars on the American culinary scene. Bucato\, his first critically lauded restaurant\, served capacity crowds night after night. But when allegations of fraud and financial malfeasance forced its closure\, Funke became persona non grata in the Los Angeles restaurant world. Director Gab Taraboulsy’s engrossing documentary portrait of the chef follows Funke as he embarks upon his comeback. Still healing from the emotional pain of his past failure\, Funke struggles to balance his artistic aspirations with the rank commercial difficulties of opening his new trattoria\, Felix\, on the most competitive street for restaurants in America. His journey toward redemption sees him voyaging through the pasta schools of Bologna (to reconnect with his mentor\, Alessandra Spisni)\, the culinary archaeological streets of Bari\, and the obsessive laboratories of Tokyo as he reconnects with the best artisan pasta makers in the world. Throughout this journey\, Taraboulsy delivers keen insight into the chef’s philosophy and intricate techniques as he handcrafts fresh\, heirloom pastas that even the most avid Italian foodies may never have seen or tasted. Passionate and thoughtful\, Funke is an ode to the art of pasta and a forthright look at the stark realities of the restaurant business. \n— Dan Doody \nDirector Biography\nDeeply passionate about the culinary world\, Gab Taraboulsy has been unearthing stories\, as a writer\, director\, and producer\, in kitchens and restaurants all over the world.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Tel Aviv on Fire
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Tel Aviv on Fire (Palestinian Director)\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:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - EXT. Night
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – EXT. Night (Egyptian director\, About Egypt)\nThe latest film from SIFF favorite Ahmad Abdalla (Microphone\, Rags and Tatters\, Decor) is an exploration of life in contemporary Cairo as seen through the eyes of three characters who come together for one 24-hour period. Moe is a film director\, and the film opens on the set of his current project\, which is in turmoil. His personal life is no better; his girlfriend has recently left him\, and his novelist friend has been sentenced to prison for using “profound language” in his work. Heading across town to edit\, he is picked up by taxi driver Mustafa\, but due to Cairo’s notorious traffic\, their progress is slow. They take a detour to Mustafa’s nephew’s place where they encounter Hala\, a sex worker and one of Mustafa’s earlier fares. Together the three embark on a meandering journey around town which lasts the rest of the night\, and takes the middle-class Moe into neighborhoods and circumstances that he might not otherwise experience\, given Cairo’s social segregation. Class\, gender\, and religion all contribute to the shifting dynamics among the three characters\, in this portrait of Egyptian society in the aftermath of the failed revolution. \nDirector Biography\nEgyptian filmmaker Ahmad Abdalla studied music in Cairo before shifting his career to film editing in 2003. He directed his first feature film Heliopolis in 2009\, one of the first independent Egyptian films to be released theatrically in Egypt\, and his award-winning film Microphone (2010) was selected among the best 100 Arabic films in history by the Dubai Film Festival.

He directed his first feature film Heliopolis in 2009\, one of the first independent Egyptian films to be released theatrically in Egypt\, and his award-winning film Microphone (2010) was selected among the best 100 Arabic films in history by the Dubai Film Festival. After writing and directing Rags and Tatters (2013) and Decor (2014)\, both of which showed at SIFF\, EXT. Night (2018) is Abdalla’s fifth feature film. \nSponsored by KING 5 \nThe latest film from SIFF favorite Ahmad Abdalla (Microphone\, Rags and Tatters\, Decor) is an exploration of life in contemporary Cairo as seen through the eyes of three characters who come together for one 24-hour period. Moe is a film director\, and the film opens on the set of his current project\, which is in turmoil. His personal life is no better; his girlfriend has recently left him\, and his novelist friend has been sentenced to prison for using “profound language” in his work. Heading across town to edit\, he is picked up by taxi driver Mustafa\, but due to Cairo’s notorious traffic\, their progress is slow. They take a detour to Mustafa’s nephew’s place where they encounter Hala\, a sex worker and one of Mustafa’s earlier fares.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Yommedine
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Yommedine (Egyptian director and About Egypt)\nBashay\, the protagonist of Yomeddine\, is that rare cinematic character you may never have seen onscreen before. A lifelong resident of a leper colony north of Cairo\, where he married and made a life as a garbage collector\, he decides one day to search for the family who left him there as a child. With his young friend Obama (like “the guy on TV”) and his donkey Harby\, Bashay sets out on his journey in a film that is part road movie\, part buddy comedy\, and part affecting neorealist drama. The bittersweet story is told with clear-eyed candor\, but also with sly humor and warm humanity. “Yomeddine” is Arabic for Judgment Day\, referenced here by characters who hope one day to be judged by their inner worth rather than their outward appearance. In this remarkable first feature\, director A. B. Shawky revisits the leper colony where he earlier made a documentary short\, and met Rady Gamal\, the charismatic non-professional actor who plays Bashay. Shawky’s documentary roots and Gamal’s performance both contribute to the film’s naturalistic style\, enhanced by Federico Cesca’s cinematography (Patti Cake$\, SIFF 2017 and Dead Pigs\, SIFF 2018). \n– Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nEgyptian/Austrian director A.B. Shawky met the lead actor for Yomeddine at an Egyptian leper colony that had been the subject of an earlier documentary short he made while a student in Cairo. He expanded the idea into a nonfiction film for his thesis for NYC’s Tisch School of the Arts. \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/yommedine \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 8:30pm \nMonday\, May 20\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 4:30pm

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:Mideast Focus Film Series 2019 - Naila and the Uprising
DESCRIPTION:NAILA and  the UPRISING \nThe remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh is documented here. She must choose between love\, family and freedom – and chooses all three.

Our theme this year is “Finding Home”. We will consider various aspects of being a refugee\, in Palestine\, as well as many other places in this 21st century world. We hope to understand more about the experiences of refugees who seek to make a safe home for their families. \n

SUMMARY:Dahr Jamail: The End of Ice (livestream)
DESCRIPTION:Dahr Jamail: The End of Ice (livestream) Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption\n\nTown Hall Seattle and Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility present\nDahr Jamail\nThe End of Ice\n\n\nAfter nearly a decade overseas as a war reporter\, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew his passion for mountaineering\, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response\, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis—from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef\, via the Amazon rainforest—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice. \nIn The End of Ice\, we follow Jamail as he scales Alaska’s Denali\, the highest peak in North America\, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Coral Sea only to find bleached coral reefs\, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its collapsing food web. \nAccompanied along the way by climate scientists and people whose families for centuries have fished\, farmed\, and lived in the areas he visits\, Jamail begins to accept the fact that Earth\, most likely\, is in a hospice situation. Ironically\, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet’s wild places\, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before. \nThe End of Ice offers an essential firsthand chronicle of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable\, fragile planet while we still can. \nPresented by Town Hall Seattle. https://townhallseattle.org/ \nHaving trouble with registration? \nOur Patron Services line is open a half an hour before each event to provide livestream tech support. Shoot us an email at patronservices@townhallseattle.org\, or give us a call at 206.504.2857 \n\nPresented by Town Hall Seattle and Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility.
