SUMMARY:Water and Peacebuilding
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n\nThroughout history\, water has been a source of conflict\, as nations wrestle for sovereignty over key waterways\, groups fight for access to critical water sources\, and populations are forced to leave their homes due to water scarcity. Accelerating climate change such as erratic rainfall\, severe droughts\, and other extreme weather events creates more competition for a diminishing water supply that leads to more water-related conflicts. Increasingly\, humanitarian and development organizations are also seeing water emerge as more than just a basic human right – it’s also an instrument of peacebuilding. Not only can water security reduce conflict triggers in water-scarce areas\, but water\, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects present an opportunity for communities to build social cohesion and social capital around a shared resource. Join representatives from World Vision\, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation\, and EverVillage as they discuss how water has played a key role in the communities in which they work.

SUMMARY:Cadence: Video Poetry Festival 2021 Housed But Never Homed: Collection of Movie Shorts
DESCRIPTION:There are names for homes that are not on any maps. The complexity of calling a place home while struggling to find acceptance there permeates these video poems. As many of us are spending more time where we dwell than ever before\, the gratitude we might feel for our home is colored by a feeling of entrapment. At the same time\, the comfort\, safety\, and services of shelter are by no means guaranteed. This screening is for the displaced\, the vulnerable\, and the shut-ins crawling out of their skin; for those whose struggle to define and redefine a concept of home for themselves is continual. \nA Barcode Scanner\nShot on location at the Chamishko IDP Camp in Northern Iraq\, “A Barcode Scanner” reflects the harsh day-to-day realities of the Êzîdîs who survived the Islamic State’s genocidal campaign against them.\n\n\nWith Whom Shall We Live?\n“With Whom Shall We Live?” illustrates the dangers of history continuing to repeat itself. Using the parallel struggles of Black Americans and Asian Americans\, this visual poem anchors the two communities together on common ground.\n\n\n\nHomeless\n17 homeless\, WAYout poets from the streets of Freetown\, Sierra Leone came together to write and produce this film.\n\n\n\nBarbed Wire Land\nArchival video provides the visuals for this video meditation on the invention of barbed wire.\n\n\nplus more . . .\n\nAvailable for streaming on April 16.

SUMMARY:Arab Films at SIFF:  The Big Hit
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps best known for Welcome to the Sticks\, the highest-grossing film of all time in France\, Kad Merad [French-Algerian] stars as Etienne\, a prickly out-of-work actor who makes ends meet by leading exercises at corporate retreats and running a theater workshop in a prison. In his work at the prison\, he is struck by the rhythm of pause and postponement that defines the prisoners’ lives\, prompting him to stage a production of Samuel Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot.” It’s more than anyone has asked of these men before\, and perhaps more than anyone has thought them capable of. But able to recognize themselves in the characters and their circumstances\, the prisoners rise to the occasion and the production is a great success\, for them and Etienne\, too. When they are invited to take the play on the road—all the way to the Odéon Theater in Paris—their world expands\, transforming the way they see themselves and their future. The story is inspired by remarkable true events in Sweden in 1985\, when Swedish actor Jan Jönson staged a public performance of “Waiting for Godot” with a group of inmates from a high-security prison in the historic Gothenburg City Theatre. Upon hearing of the events that transpired\, Samuel Beckett himself observed\, “That’s the best thing that happened to this play since I wrote it!” \n— Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nEmmanuel Courcol graduated the l’École Nationale des Arts et Techniques du Théâtre in 1984 as a trained actor. He acted in about 30 plays and as many movies but gradually moved to writing\, working with Philippe Lioret on four screenplays. After Ceasefire (2017)\, The Big Hit (2020) is his second feature film.
