Movie: 1982 - San Diego Arab Film Festival
2020-06-27 - 2020-06-28 | WA
1982 (2019)

In June of 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, which was already reeling from its ongoing civil war. In his feature debut, director Oualid Mouaness revisits this cataclysmic moment in Lebanese history through a different lens. At a private school on the outskirts of Beirut, as the geopolitical conflict inches closer and closer, 11-year-old Wissam (Mohamad Dalli) is more intent on finding the courage to tell his classmate he loves her. For a dreamer like Wissam, who is more likely to be drawing than playing football, it’s hard to comprehend the gravity of the impending violence. But for his teachers, Yesmine (Nadine Labaki) and Joseph (Rodrigue Sleiman), the jets in the sky signal something greater. As they try to mask their growing fears for the sake of the students, they also attempt to hide the fractures in their relationship, as they fall on different sides of the political divide. Mouaness, who also wrote the script, splits the film between these two perspectives; that of the adults and that of the children, to explore the complexities of love and war. —Toronto International Film Festival

Sex Is Work - Two Documentaries by Elliat Graney-Saucke
2020-07-22 | WA
Screening of Conflict of Identity (Berlin Identities) and the US Culture Wars (Christian Right and Gender/Sex Radicals)

PRE-RECORDED
Screening 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).
This 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.
‘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.
To 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.
Artists 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.
It’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

ABOUT THE BOOK
When Layla Saad ran a free month-long Instagram challenge during the summer of 2018, she had no idea it would become an international cultural movement. Thousands of people from around the world were galvanized by the #meandwhitesupremacy challenge, examining and owning responsibility for the ways in which they uphold white supremacy. Over 80,000 people downloaded her guide to the movement, Me and White Supremacy Workbook in the space of just six months. And now, that guide is a published book. Me and White Supremacy leads readers through a journey of understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy, so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on Black, Indigenous and people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too. The book goes beyond the original workbook by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and includes expanded definitions, examples, and further resources.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Layla Saad is a globally respected writer, speaker and podcast host on the topics of race, identity, leadership, personal transformation and social change. As an East African, Arab, British, Black, Muslim woman who was born and grew up in the West, and lives in Middle East, she has always sat at a unique intersection of identities from which she is able to draw rich and intriguing perspectives. Saad’s work is driven by her powerful desire to ‘become a good ancestor’; to live and work in ways that leave a legacy of healing and liberation for those who will come after she is gone. She earned her Bachelor of Law degree from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. She lives in Doha, Qatar with her husband, Sam, and two children, Maya and Mohamed.
