SUMMARY:26th Arab Film Festival Shorts: Queer Lens
DESCRIPTION:AFMI’s annual Queer Lens program celebrates the multi-dimensional formations of Arab queerness in stories that so urgently need to be told\, especially in today’s polarized media climate that leaves issues of visibility lost in the haze\, or\, worse: cast in a one-size-fits-all “Western Queer Narrative” that ignores the many complexities and nuances faced by LGBTQ+ persons in the Arab World and beyond. \nThis year’s program theme is Diaspora & Displacement and features 5 award-winning short films that highlight the experiences of Queer Arabs around the globe. The characters in these stories all find themselves at the intersection of their identities. Some must reconcile the reality of their sexuality with a family who loves but does not understand\, others work towards a life lived authentically in a society that does not accept them and a few explore leaving a place that is not safe even though it means letting go of those they care about. In this collection\, audiences will find stories that may be unique in their details but are deeply relatable at their core and despite the difficulties\, celebrate honesty and love. \nJoin us after the screening for Arab + Queer + Film: between here and there a conversation with four of the filmmakers in the Queer Lens program. \nThis program includes the following films: \nHabib & the Thief (Sweden) dir. Naures Sager \nThe Window (Lebanon) dir. Sarah Kaskas \nFaraway (Canada) dir. Aziz Zoromba \nDress Up (United States) dir. Karina Dandashi \nWarsha (Lebanon) dir. Dania Bdeir

SUMMARY:Author Danny Ramadan at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Down from his Vancouver home where\, in addition to writing\, Danny Ramadan has been an activist and advocate\, in particular for LGBTQ+ refugees from Syria and the Middle East. The author of an award-winning Canadian children’s book\, Salma the Syrian Chef\, and a debut novel that was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award\, The Clothesline Swing\, he is here tonight with his new novel\, The Foghorn Echoes (Canongate Books). Set between a Damascus riven by war and Vancouver\, with time spanning a decade\, this is an extraordinary book of hard-sought love between two young men. \n”The Foghorn Echoes is a deeply moving book about conflict both internal and external\, the ways in which cold accidents – of birth\, of place\, of time – can leave a human being at war with their own desires\, their own sense of self. Danny Ramadan is a gifted\, sensitive excavator of the things that break people and put them back together\, the past as weight and lightness. In this novel he has created a world of immense sensory and emotional precision\, at once true in its living details and yet electric with the presence of ghosts.” – Omar El Akkad.\n”The Foghorn Echoes bristles. It burns bright. It shouts into the dark with a voice that hovers between a melody and a lamentation. Danny Ramadan writes in these pages with a spellbinding urgency\, stripping bare some of the most painful and fundamental truths about displacement and grief\, about rage and betrayal. In the process\, he reminds us again and again that even the worst of memories contain redemptive powers. This novel is a tender and impassioned love story for a country\, for a people\, and for all those who refuse to disappear quietly into the land of the forgotten.” – Maaza Mengiste. \nDanny RamadanFriday Nov 11 2022 7:00pm – 8:00pm\nLive/In-Person at Elliott Bay Book Company.\n1521 10th Ave. Seattle\, WA  98122

SUMMARY:Screening of documentary film "Shalal (Looted): A Reel War"
DESCRIPTION:Madafeh: Screening of documentary film “Shalal (Looted): A Reel War\,” directed by Israeli filmmaker Karnit Mandel.\nPlease click here to register for this event. \n\nAbout the Film\nHistory is archived by the victors. While searching in an Israeli archive\, filmmaker Karnit Mandel stumbles across film reels from a long-lost Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) film archive. This never-before-seen footage was seized by Israel during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon\, and Mandel begins to wonder what is so dangerous in it that requires hiding. As the truth of these historical records unravel\, she comes into conflict with the bureaucracy of Israel’s military apparatus\, which denies the possession of additional footage. Will she be able to wrestle back any of this untold history\, or will the reels forever remain buried

SUMMARY:SWANA Style Series: Revival of the Jericho Thobe Ubb
DESCRIPTION:The SWANA Style Saturday Series is a lecture series focused on exploring the traditional dress of cultural communities living in SWANA (Southwest Asia & North Africa). The aim of this series is to bring awareness to styles that have generally been left out of the historical record\, however have great historical origination stories. Our cultural memory must preserve this knowledge for the next generation. \nJericho is the oldest continuously inhabited area in the world. Today\, it is the last Palestinian city before crossing the Allenby Bridge to Jordan. Geological and geographic factors have contributed to its long history of survival and an ideal place for settlement\, making it a source of envy and coveted possession for invaders who have seen Jericho as the key to controlling Palestine.

SUMMARY:Book Event: Nine Quarters of Jerusalem by Matthew Teller (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Please click here to register for this event. \n\nThis is a Hybrid Event\, meaning you can attend virtually via Zoom or\, in person\, at the Palestine Museum US\, in Woodbridge\, CT\, USA. You can register on Zoom and decide later how you want to attend.\nDoors open at 2:30; the program begins at 3:00 PM US EDT; 10:00 PM Palestine Time. \nAuthor Matthew Teller will be on site at the Paelstine Museum US to talk about the book and sign copies for buyers. \n\n\nAbout the Book\nThis unique\, absorbing biography of Jerusalem brings to light its overlooked histories and diverse contemporary voices. \nIn Jerusalem\, what you see and what is true are two different things. The Old City has never had “four quarters” as its maps proclaim. And beyond the crush and frenzy of its major religious sites\, many of its quarters are little known to visitors\, its people ignored and their stories untold. Nine Quarters of Jerusalem lets the communities of the Old City speak for themselves. Ranging from ancient past to political present\, it evokes the city’s depth and cultural diversity. \nMatthew Teller’s highly original “biography” features the Old City’s Palestinian and Jewish communities\, but also spotlights its Indian and African populations\, its Greek and Armenian and Syriac cultures\, its downtrodden Dom Gypsy families\, and its Sufi mystics. It discusses the sources of Jerusalem’s holiness and the ideas—often startlingly secular—that have shaped lives within its walls. It is an evocation of place through story\, led by the voices of Jerusalemites. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\nMatthew Teller\nPhoto Credit Andrew Shaylor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Author\nMatthew Teller writes for the BBC\, The Guardian\, Times of London\, Financial Times\, and other global media. He has produced and presented documentaries for BBC Radio and has reported for the BBC’s From Our Own Correspondent program from around the Middle East and beyond. He is the author of several travel guides\, including the Rough Guide to Jordan. His most recent book is Quite Alone: Journalism from the Middle East 2008–2019.

SUMMARY:"Madafeh": Hanan Awad\, photographer\, essayist (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Event Occurs Every Sunday-Register Once; Attend All. \n\nThe program begins at 12 Noon US EDT; 7:00 PM Palestine Time.\nPlease join us for a virtual session of open discussion about Palestinian topics. \nPlease click here to register for this event. \nIn 1948\, the year of al-Nakba or “the catastrophe”\, over 750\,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland through militarized displacement resulting in the depopulation and destruction of over 400 Palestinian villages. Each village has a unique story regarding the specifics of how it was attacked and how its inhabitants were forcibly expelled. For the most part\, the villages were totally destroyed – leaving only a few that stand to this day. Ayn Hawd and Ayn Karem are these unique cases of villages escaping the brutal destruction that sought to erase the physical signs of the Palestinan presence throughout the region. While the houses and buildings of these two villages were left standing\, the actual Palestinian inhabitants were displaced and are forbidden to return. The stories of Ayn Karem and Ayn Hud are critical for understanding the situation in Palestine as one of settler-colonialism.
