SUMMARY:Mirrors of Diaspora (2018) - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mirrors of Diaspora is a multi-character story of seven Iraqi artists with more than forty years of exile\, creativity\, alienation\, memories\, nostalgia\, survivals\, and war between them. \nOn the 15th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq\, Mirrors of Diaspora explores themes of exile\, creativity\, identity and war told through the lives of seven Iraqi artists living outside the country of their birth for close to half a century. The artists featured in this documentary belong to a group known as ‘Iraqi Artists in Exile’. \nFilmed over three decades\, this ambitious project explores their challenges\, failures and successes\, both as artists and in their private lives: from the time they graduated from art school in the 1970s\, working as street artists in the piazzas of Rome and Florence\, to becoming well-known. The central question the film poses is: what are the consequences of spending most of one’s life in exile? \nAt a time of unprecedented global migration when barely a day passes without a tragic story played out in the international media\, Mirrors of Diaspora contributes to greater understanding of one of the defining issues of our time. \n~90 minute run time

SUMMARY:The Knight and the Princess (2019) - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a true 7th century knight\, the story follows the adventures of Mohammed Bin Alkassim with a fictional twist. At the young age of 15\, he could not accept the concept of impossible and took it upon himself to save women and children who were abducted by pirates in the Indian sea. This seemingly simple quest would be the first of many experiences that shaped the great leader he would later become. Ready to take on the tyrant king Daher as a more experienced 17-year-old\, Mohammed Bin Alkassim once again leaves his hometown Basra\, Iraq\, with his lifelong friend Zaid\, and his mentor\, Abu Alaswad\, on a mission to free Sind. \nDuring one of his battles\, he happened to save a young lady from the land of Sind – Princess Lubnah. It is the love story of “The Knight and The Princess.” \nOn the behest of his King Daher\, a sorcerer attempts to control two funny yet mischievous jinn characters in order to keep Al Kassim off the path of the land of Sind. \nThe back and forth power struggle escalates into an epic encore of a war with battle-tested elephants\, hundreds of horses\, and the fight against good and evil. \nThe story is dramatized with an original score and 5 original songs. The voices of the characters are brought to life by well-known Egyptian actors. \nRun time: 1 hr 36 minutes

SUMMARY:Queen Naija at Marymoor Park
DESCRIPTION:As a little girl growing up outside Detroit\, Queen Naija started singing in church at the age of three and writing her own songs in third grade. Although she kept up with her singing and songwriting as she got older—and even cut a few records in a local studio—her focus shifted when she and her former husband found fame online with their wildly popular YouTube channel. But when their marriage fell apart last year\, Queen returned to her lifelong passion and released a powerfully unapologetic single that shares her side of the story.

We also do it to preserve\, protect and remember what’s rightfully ours: to live a life in dignity. As demonstrations continue across the country in response to long-standing issues of systemic racism and injustice\, “Protest/Protect” honors the global uprisings of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Through this event\, we will hold space for writers and activists to express the struggles\, experiences and victories of the ongoing protests in the fight for freedom. \nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page\, so be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event to be notified and tune in when the livestream goes up.  \n  \nAja Monet is a surrealist blues poet\, storyteller and organizer born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY\, who follows in the long legacy and tradition of poets participating and assembling in social movements.

SUMMARY:Windows/Shababeek: A Sukoon Virtual Reading
DESCRIPTION:Windows/Shababeek: A Sukoon Virtual Reading\n\n\nAANM presents a Sukoon bilingual live reading around the theme of Windows/Shababeek\, curated and hosted by Sukoon founding editor Rewa Zeinati\, and featuring an incredible lineup of Arab writers and poets: Zeyn Joukhadar\, Zeina Hashem Beck\, Philip Metres\, George Abraham\, Sahar Mustafa\, Zeina Azzam (Arabic) and Farah Chamma (Arabic).\n\nWe’ve spent the last several weeks observing life go back and forth to stillness\, isolation\, fear or healing\, all through the windows of our homes (if we are privileged enough to have them). We’ve pondered other people’s lives existing behind their own windows. What joy or confusion or horror was multiplied? Join us for this bilingual poetry and fiction virtual live reading in collaboration with Sukoon\, exploring—in the most broad or intimate sense—the various and infinite ways we interpret the barriers\, filters or open fields we call “windows” and how these inform the light and shadows we allow or dissipate.\n\nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page\, so be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event to be notified and tune in when the livestream goes up.
