SUMMARY:Movie: The Teacher
DESCRIPTION:The destruction of a Palestinian home by Israeli edict and the murder of a youth at the hands of an Israeli settler set the stage for even more shocks to come in THE TEACHER. Saleh Bakri is Basem\, an amiable educator who tries to steer the deceased boy’s younger brother Adam (Muhammad Abed Elrahman) from seeking revenge. At the same time\, Basem ignores his own advice\, maintaining ties with the resistance and involving himself in a hostage situation. He tries to keep his activities secret from Adam and his British girlfriend Lisa (Imogen Poots) but it becomes harder to maintain his silence when Israeli troops show up at his door. \nTHE TEACHER\, set and shot with difficulty in occupied territory\, is the feature debut of Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning British-Palestinian writer-director Farah Nabulsi. Inspired by true events and led by a commanding and wounded performance from Bakri\, the film probes the desperate actions of those who feel they have no recourse for justice.

SUMMARY:Arab Film Club: Alexandria... Why? [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:(Youssef Chahine\, 1979\, Egypt\, 133 min\, in Egyptian Arabic with English subtitles)\n\nAlexandria during World War II. Yehia\, a young man in his final year of school who loves movies and music\, dreams of making it to Hollywood. But like most of Egypt’s middle class\, the war has left his parents in a tight financial situation. Through Yehia’s endeavors\, his Christian family and his diverse group of friends\, we are exposed to different segments of Alexandrian society: from Egyptian and British soldiers\, communist workers and patriotic aristocrats to social climbers and war profiteers. A rich\, dynamic portrait of the director’s beloved city during a seminal moment in its long and layered history. \nAn Egyptian classic\, Alexandria…Why? won the Silver Bear – Special Jury Prize at the 29th Berlin International Film Festival in 1979. \nAbout Youssef Chahine: \nBorn in Alexandria in 1926 to a middle-class family of Greek and Lebanese origin\, Chahine came into the world between the wars in the heart of the region’s most cosmopolitan city. From an early age he developed a passion for theater\, cinema\, and Shakespeare. After spending a year at the University of Alexandria\, he decided to study acting at California’s Pasadena Playhouse\, only to quickly turn to directing. Chahine’s reputation as an international auteur was established early on; his sophomore effort Son of the Nile (Ibn el Nil\, 1951) was nominated for Cannes’ Grand Prix of the Festival in 1952. \n– Bio by Joseph Fahim

SUMMARY:Feral Abbasi-Ghnaim: A Celebration of Palestinian Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Palestinian Embroidery presents selected works by Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim\, an award-winning master artist\, renowned teacher\, mother\, and grandmother\, in honor of her birthday. Throughout her life and career\, Abbasi-Ghnaim has devoted herself to preserving and passing down the centuries-old art of tatreez to Palestinian women and girls in the diaspora. She has also worked to educate the American public about its deep significance\, both as an intangible cultural heritage and as a tangible documentation for storytelling\, identity\, and resistance. This exhibition honors her remarkable contributions to the community and the world\, as documented in Tatreez & Tea: Embroidery and Storytelling in the Palestinian Diaspora (2016). Organized by her three daughters\, this intimate exhibition highlights how her work functions as both a personal and collective archive of beauty\, memory\, and sorrow. Every stitch bridges home and homeland\, threading stories across generations and geographies. Through her hands\, tatreez becomes more than embroidery—it becomes a visual language of Palestinian resilience\, identity\, and creative expression in exile.

SUMMARY:The Arab Grill
DESCRIPTION:Think of Arab cuisine and the first thing that comes to mind is probably the characteristic blend of spices. But equally important is the char that you can only get by cooking with fire. In this class Nadia Tommalieh will introduce you to the perfect balance of smoke\, spice\, and citrus in a spread of dishes that celebrate the warmth of Arab hospitality. On the menu: shish tawook (grilled yogurt-marinated chicken with sumac and Aleppo); and reyash mashwieh (grllled lamb chops with pomegranate molasses and baharat spice). You’ll round out the meal with tabbouleh (Lebanese parsley and bulgur wheat salad); grilled muhammara with walnuts and breadcrumbs; and three flavors of toum (Arab-style garlic sauce). \nPlease note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions\, but many cannot.

SUMMARY:The Arab Grill
DESCRIPTION:Think of Arab cuisine and the first thing that comes to mind is probably the characteristic blend of spices. But equally important is the char that you can only get by cooking with fire. In this class Nadia Tommalieh will introduce you to the perfect balance of smoke\, spice\, and citrus in a spread of dishes that celebrate the warmth of Arab hospitality. On the menu: shish tawook (grilled yogurt-marinated chicken with sumac and Aleppo); and reyash mashwieh (grllled lamb chops with pomegranate molasses and baharat spice). You’ll round out the meal with tabbouleh (Lebanese parsley and bulgur wheat salad); grilled muhammara with walnuts and breadcrumbs; and three flavors of toum (Arab-style garlic sauce). \nPlease note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions\, but many cannot. If you’re vegetarian\, pescatarian\, or gluten-free\, you can use the drop-down menu on our events page to view the best classes to fit your needs. If a class you’re interested in doesn’t appear in that filtered view\, please email us before registering and we’ll see if the class’s menu can be modified.

SUMMARY:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun\nSaturday\, July 12 | 10AM Pacific\, 1PM Eastern\, 8PM Palestine \nThe struggle for Palestine lives in every form of resistance\, including art. Widely considered the lead Palestinian dance company in Palestine and the diaspora\, El-Funoun was established in 1979 by a small group of enthusiastic\, creative and committed artists. The Troupe has developed an innovative style of dance deeply-rooted in Palestinian and Arab folklore and informed by elements of contemporary dance movement. A leading cultural institution in Palestine\, El-Funoun has used dabke\, music\, and cultural work as tools to confront erasure and resist the zionist occupation\, making them and their dancers a continuous target of imprisonment and repression by the zionist entity. \nJoin the PYM’s Resistance Arts Committee for a discussion with El-Funoun that is rooted in political clarity\, history\, and the realities we face now. We will be exploring: \n– What do we mean by resistance arts in the Palestinian context?\n– How did El-Funoun turn culture into a site of struggle\, from choreography built inside prison walls to stages across the world?\n– What does it mean to build and defend Palestinian cultural institutions today\, both under occupation and in exile? \nLink to register for the webinar: https://bit.ly/PYMxEl-FunounWebinar \nYou don’t want to miss this!

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Regional Distinctions in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Late 19th/Early 20th Centuries\n\nDate: Friday\, July 18\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nDescription: Until the mid-twentieth century\, the dress of the Palestinian people was descriptive of identity; first by societal segment (city dweller\, villager or nomad)\, and then by the region in which the wearer came. Within each regional style\, finer distinctions in women’s dress (thobe) were expressed that shared the maker’s life and the natural world around her. Palestinian women recorded their identity in their thobe with embroidery (tatreez) through a shared illustrative language of embroidered patterns\, stitching techniques and thread colors. The thobe records unwritten stories and serves as a visual register of collective and individual identities\, documenting a woman’s village\, tribe or town\, her marital status\, her familial lineage\, and the material impact of colonialism\, occupation\, war and exile. The regional identity of the woman defines the overall governing style of her thobe\, and evidence of identity is largely through her embodiment of land. \nThis lecture will discuss the regional distinctions in dress in historical Palestine by city\, village and tribe for at least six regions\, to include Ramallah\, Galilee\, Gaza\, Bir Saba\, Al Khalil\, and Bethlehem. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  To A Land Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Mahdi Fleifel\, who made the great documentary A World Not Ours (SIFF 2013) about the Ein el-Helweh refugee camp in Lebanon\, where his parents were born\, returns to the Festival with his fiction debut\, To a Land Unknown. \nThe refugees in this story have made out of their camp and travelled to Athens\, where they are stranded en route to Germany. Chatila is clever and resourceful\, and it falls to him to come up with a plan; Reda\, his cousin\, is sweet but hapless\, owing in part to a weakness for drugs. To raise the money they need for fake passports\, they resort to increasingly desperate crimes: stealing\, sex work\, human trafficking. To sustain themselves\, they nurture the fantasy of the café they plan to open in Germany\, where Chatila’s wife will cook\, and they’ll make enough money to bring the rest of their family\, currently stuck in the camp. \nWhile films about refugees are not uncommon\, what sets this film apart is the way the director puts us squarely in Chatila and Reda’s shoes as they try to figure out how to reach their final destination\, how to keep themselves alive in the meanwhile\, and how to do it all without losing their humanity in the process.
