Movie: Leila and the Wolves at the Beacon
2025-05-04 17:00 - 19:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
Forty years ago, this landmark film by Lebanese director Heiny Srour (THE HOUR OF LIBERATION HAS ARRIVED) centred the less visible stories and histories of women’s resistance in Lebanon and Palestine through an audacious feminist rewriting. Now re-emerging in a new restoration, LEILA AND THE WOLVES revolves around the eponymous Leila (Nabila Zeitouni), a London-based Lebanese woman who, in pondering her future within the limits of the patriarchal imagination, begins to question the long-hidden roles that women have had in Arab history, including how they entwine with the Palestinian resistance movement.
A photography exhibition, organised by a male friend and chronicling the Palestinian struggle, intrigues Leila further. When she questions why there are only photographs of men, he responds casually that women simply weren’t present. Leila’s visceral rejection of this response sets her on a time-travelling journey from the early 1900s to the 1980s, as well as into her own future – or what it will be like if she merely accepts women’s lack of historical agency.
LEILA AND THE WOLVES weaves together fictional drama, memory, myth and archival footage (from sources ranging from the films of Palestinian director Mai Masri to the archives of UNRWA and the Imperial War Museum) to conjure images of active, activist and defiant women – a restitution of sorts, which reverberates around the world. In an interview from 2020, the filmmaker says: “Nowadays, LEILA is travelling the world again, more relevant than ever; my unconscious and the collective unconscious of the women of the Middle East spoke together throughout the extreme conditions of making this film.”
“Heiny Srour’s LEILA AND THE WOLVES is a film of monumental resolve and ambition, determined to address the contradictions within the anti-colonial struggle. With a single actress playing multiple characters in different historical moments, the film dispenses with teleological linearity to emphasize the recurrence of oppression and the consequent need for constant and multifarious opposition. Its restored relevance is not only thematic but methodological: here’s a film that defiantly disregards any moralist binary of good versus evil, us versus them, to champion the immense and composite task that is liberation from all shackles, wherever and whomever we are.” – Celluloid Liberation Front

Not So Simple! Translating Young Adult Literature as Resistance and Entertainment with Sawad Hussain
2025-05-07 17:00 - 19:00 | Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum, 93 Pike Street #307, Seattle, WA, 98101
There is a common misconception in literary publishing that books for children and young adults are “simple” and are, therefore, easy to translate. But translating literature for younger people is not simple at all. How does the process of “curating” young people’s literature involve translators’ negotiation with the expectations of English-language editors and publishers? How might translation of young people’s literature into English function as a form of decolonization and resistance? What are the sensitivity issues that are particular to publishing young adult literature? Should young adult literature in translation be handled like highbrow adult literature in translation, like “ordinary” YA literature, or something in between? And, finally, does the original language of the book or its country of origin affect these calculations? Join the panel of three distinguished translators—Sawad Hussain (Arabic), Shelley Fairweather-Vega (Russian and Uzbek), and Takami Nieda (Japanese)—for an engaging discussion of these issues.

Sawad Hussain is a translator from Arabic whose work has been recognised by, among others, The Warwick Prize for Women in Translation and the National Book Award for Translated Literature. Recent releases include a co-translated sci-fi YA title (I Want Golden Eyesby Maria Dadouch) and a murder mystery YA novel (The Djinn’s Apple by Djamila Morani). A former Co-Chair of the Translator’s Association (UK), she is committed to mentoring literary translators and developing the industry in general.

Movie: The Encampments
2025-05-09 16:00 - 18:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today.
Filmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today.
“What makes THE ENCAMPMENTS artistically triumphant is its sense of contemporary and historical detail, owed to both footage shot by the filmmakers, as well as by the protesters themselves. In the process, co-directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T. Workman craft a work of cinema that’s as rigorously journalistic in its arguments as it is nakedly sentimental.” – IndieWire
“This is more than a student protest—it’s a generational struggle for justice. Students have always led the charge for justice, from the sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement to the campus protests against South African apartheid. The encampments that started at Columbia are part of that legacy, inspiring millions of people around the world. The film ensures the students in US and Gaza are heard, their actions are remembered, and the fight for Palestinian liberation continues.” – Macklemore
“Khalil remains detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana amid a legal battle to prevent his deportation from the U.S. after the Trump administration ordered his removal… The legal challenge to Khalil might ultimately come down to the Supreme Court, which would decide how far the secretary of state can determine whether a permanent resident can be removed for speech.” – Axios
