SUMMARY:Solidarity is a Verb: SWANA Liberation\, Gender Rights\, and Refugee Experiences (online)
DESCRIPTION:For Women’s history month\, the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of South Florida has organized a panel of gender rights poets\, scholars\, and Southwest Asia and North Africa refugees who will share insights on the crises in Afghanistan and Palestine\, placing each within its historical context of U.S. involvement. As Florida is set to receive thousands of refugees from Afghanistan in the next year\, the panel will help attendees begin to understand local implications and experiences of US imperialist complicity as it relates to the West’s hesitance to confront human-rights issues in Southwest Asia and North Africa\, more generally. \nPanelists include Zahra Wakilzada and Dina Awshah; the moderator will be Dr. Rahi Dayerizadeh. This program is funded in part through a Florida Humanities Greater Good: Humanities in Academia Grant in partnership with the University of South Florida.

SUMMARY:Barboza Presents:  Habibi
DESCRIPTION:As the world starts to re-emerge and awaken\, the summer of 2021 proved to be a hot one and Habibi is ready to dance. After being coined by the New Yorker as having “the Colgate white glisten of sixties girl group pop combined with an uncensored edge” for their acclaimed debut album\, Habibi broke boundaries by introducing Farsi-sung tunes on their EP ‘Cardamom Garden’ that “shed rigid definitions of what constitutes American music” (Pitchfork). In 2020\, a month before the world drastically changed\, ‘Anywhere But Here’\, the group’s prophetic sophomore album was released which led NPR’s Robin Hilton to call them a “noir girl-group.” \nThis fall\, Habibi will release a two-song EP of original compositions\, titled ‘Somewhere’ to inaugurate their signing to the legendary label Kill Rock Stars. The EP will move the unique four- piece’s sound into the escapism of disco club era New York City\, an expansion upon their Detroit-bred garage roots. Habibi knows it’s time to cut loose and take you to the dance floor\, enlisting producer Mike Stroud from Ratatat and Heba Kadry (Egyptian) as mastering engineer. Fans of the Tom Tom Club and ESG will find here plenty to love.

SUMMARY:2022 Online Film and Discussion MidEast Series:  Sumud
DESCRIPTION:THE SPRING 2022 ONLINE FILM AND DISCUSSION SERIES  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme for this year’s Film Series is Sumud. This is a Palestinian word that means “Steadfastness” or “Steadfast Perseverance.” It is a cultural value in Palestine. There is no possible way Palestinians can defend themselves in the face of one of the most well-equipped military powers in the world. They practice “sumud” which sometimes is an act of making breakfast\, sometimes walking the children to the checkpoint on the way to school\, sometimes\, joining a peaceful protest at a blocked crossroad\, just to say “We are here!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this series we will meet a young Israeli woman who also practices her own sumud as she resists joining the Israeli military. We will discover what sumud looks like in the devastation we call “Gaza”\, and in the tragedy we call “Hebron.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive links to the film (watch on your own time within 48 hours of the discussion) and the Zoom discussion\, send a message to seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMARCH 11\, 8 P.M.

Footage documenting numerous appalling situations corroborates their compelling stories\, from soldiers taking pot shots with rubber bullets and conducting humiliating searches of passersby to arresting ten-year-olds and turning entire households upside down. What effect did these military duties have on their moral compass? Looking back and growing older\, how do they feel about this mission now? \nLearn more here. \nSkies above Hebron is a coming of age story depicting three boys coping\, each in his own way\, with physical and mental obstacles enclosing life in their Palestinian hometown of Hebron. \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 6\, 8 P.M. (discussion)\nLITTLE PALESTINE: DIARY OF A SEIGE\nDuring the Syrian civil war\, the district of Yarmouk\, home to thousands of Palestinians\, became the scene of dramatic and ferocious fighting. Little Palestine: Diary of a Siege is a film that follows the destiny of civilians during the brutal sieges\, imposed by the Syrian regime\, that took place in the wake of the battles. With his camera\, Abdallah Al-Khatib composes a love song to a place that proudly resists the atrocities of war \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 20\, 8 P.M.

SUMMARY:Gaza 101 A mini-course in four parts: History\, Politics\, Culture & Economics: Part 4: The Economics of Gaza… where do we go from here?
DESCRIPTION:Gaza 101 A mini-course in four parts: History\, Politics\, Culture & Economics\n\nDiscussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the West all too often neglect to include Gaza and the voices of Palestinians there\, seemingly because the situation is seen to be too overwhelming or challenging to take-on. This program will openly and honestly present the reality of the siege\, the occupation\, and political  leadership as well as include ways participants can advocate with their elected officials to encourage U.S. policies that will help end the siege of Gaza and advance human rights and security for all. \nThis series is co-organized by Churches for Middle East Peace\, Arab American Institute\, and American Friends of Combatants for Peace. Each 90-minute session will present on one of the four aspects of Gaza: \n1.      History & Historical Significance \n2.      Politics \n3.      Culture \n4.      Economics \nPart 4\nThe Economics of Gaza… where do we go from here?\nMarch 3\nModerated by Dr. Jim Zogby\, Founder and President\, The Arab American Institute\nwith Asmaa Abu Messed and Omar Shaban

SUMMARY:Mohamed Soueid Retrospective:  Movie Series
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by ArteEast and Anthology Film Archives\, and curated by Giovanni Vimercati\, this series is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive\, which preserves and presents over 17 years of film and video programming by ArteEast.  \n  \nVideo pioneer\, cinema auteur\, and television producer Mohamed Soueid has collected stories from his compatriots for most of his adult life. Widely regarded as Beirut’s first video artist\, Soueid films defy categorization. \nMOHAMAD SOUEID RETROSPECTIVE \n \nMOHAMED SOUEID RETROSPECTIVE \nOnline Screening: March 3-13 \nFree / $5 suggested donation \nRSVP at artearchive.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINEMA FOUAD \n1994\, 41 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“A documentary on the life and ambitions of a young Lebanese cross-dresser\, the video follows her journey from soldier to cabaret dancer in an effort to raise funds for her sex change operation. Shot in Beirut\, CINEMA FOUAD weaves a complex and multi-layered story of sexuality\, identity\, and desire\, and paints a compelling portrait of its subject.” \n–THIRD WORLD NEWSREEL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTANGO OF YEARNING \n1998\, 70 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nOne of Soueid’s finest and most representative cinematographic achievements\, TANGO OF \nYEARNING melancholically exemplifies the relational essence of his cinema. It is at once a film about love (for cinema\, for life and its characters)\, about Soueid’s work for the Lebanese state broadcaster Tele Liban\, and about the mysterious death of the Egyptian Jewish actress Camelia. \n  \nThe film’s sinuous and free-flowing shape is not so much a rejection of the linear narratives of realism\, but an acknowledgment of reality’s unmoored dynamics and the role memory plays in \nits construction. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNIGHTFALL / INDAMA YA’ATI AL-MASA \n2000\, 68 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“On the surface\, NIGHTFALL is a semi-autobiographical reconstruction of the militant years of Fatah’s Student Brigade; a series of conversations and interviews between the director and his \nold comrades\, most of whom spend their time meditating their movement’s defeat in a state of drunken incoherence. Throughout NIGHTFALL\, Soueid remains uncompromisingly bleak about the state of the Palestinian revolution at the turn of the new millennium. It is not just the individual militants who now suffer from a crisis of identity\, but the very slogans of the struggle \nitself – and thus\, its history. What is to be recovered\, then\, from the ramblings of these old Maoists?” \n– Francesco Anselmetti\, SAFAR JOURNAL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER / MA HATAFTU LI GHAYRIHA \n2008\, 87 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nThrough the story of a son reconstructing his father’s revolutionary past from a diary\, Soueid draws a portrait of two generations of men\, fathers and sons\, who were revolutionaries of the 1970s. This is a poetic flight in time\, back to when young men dreamed of changing the world \nwith their own hands\, and forward to a present where young men just want the security of a salaried job. At the same time\, MY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER is a film about Lebanon’s schizophrenic modern history\, caught in between the neoliberal lure of financial capitalism and the internationalist dreams of revolution. Between its sudden kindness and unforeseen brutality. \nBetween Hong Kong and Hanoi. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE INSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER \n2020\, 170 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nSoueid’s magnus opus\, a gargantuan flux that is both timeless and multi-temporal\, THE \nINSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER amalgamates the past into the present\, and from the schizophrenic streets of Beirut opens onto the world: the world that a Middle East Airlines captain has traveled and now remembers from his patio\, but also the world of boundless love one of Soueid’s friends has for the Egyptian singer and actress Souad Hosny. In order to fall asleep\, the director asked his friends and artistic accomplices to tell him stories\, resulting in a film of rarefied\, oneiric beauty.
