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.
The 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.
While 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.

Seattle International Film Festival: Everybody Loves Touda

In the latest film from Nabil Ayouch (Horses of God, SIFF 2014) co-written with his wife, director Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan, SIFF 2023), Touda dreams of being a sheikha, or traditional Moroccan folk singer. More than that, she is determined to be one, which is fortunate because the road ahead is a rocky one. A single mother with a young son to support, she sings at parties and in bars in her provincial town. But these opportunities are limited and fraught with risk, as her male audience’s “love” often shades into something more proprietary and threatening. She sets her sights on Casablanca and, leaving her son with her parents and ignoring the disapproval of her conservative brother, she heads to the big city. There Touda meets an older musician, a violinist who recognizes her ambition and her potential, and becomes a sort of mentor. With his help, she sets about to master the aita, a Moroccan musical genre rooted in poetry about the many struggles of life, from the personal to the political. As her singing improves, she can command higher fees and a more elite audience. But in a culture where female performers are as often eroticized and stigmatized as venerated, what does it really mean to be loved?

Virtual Lecture: The Timeless Thobe – Documenting Land, Heritage & Culture in Palestinian Dress
2025-05-24 09:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Date: Saturday, May 24, 2025

Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST
Location: Online, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event
Instructor: Wafa Ghnaim, Dress Historian, Researcher & Educator
Registration Fee: Sliding scale
The thobe, a traditional hand embroidered dress made and worn by Palestinian women for centuries, is the bedrock of Palestinian identity through heritage, culture and land. For millennia, women in the eastern Mediterranean have showcased their skillful stitchery on their traditional dress, displaying unique motifs, colors and styles across the various villages of old Palestine.
After 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were forced into exile, carrying their dressmaking and embroidery traditions with them into refugee camps and around the world. As the diaspora spread across the globe, the largest and longest-standing population of displaced people in the world, the thobe evolved into a symbol of national and cultural identity beyond borders.
In this live virtual lecture, dress historian, researcher, and educator Wafa Ghnaim will explore the evolution of the thobe and the visual language of tatreez (embroidery) as used on traditional Palestinian dress. From village styles to diasporic adaptations, this talk offers a compelling look at how dress documents the intertwined threads of history, memory, and identity.
What You’ll Receive:

Live access to the 2-hour lecture
A recording for 7 days after the live session

Comedy about Israel and Palestine is a high-wire act and perhaps never more so than now, which is part of what makes this documentary about Israeli comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi so riveting. With an Iranian-Jewish mother and an Ashkenazi Romanian father, Noam grew up in Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam, an intentional community where Arab and Jewish families live together by choice, and where her left-wing parents moved the family in the early 1990s.
A committed activist for equal rights for Palestinians and Jews—as she explains, coexistence can only exist between equals—she studied International Relations at Brandeis before taking a job at the United Nations. When she was invited by Harvard to work on a peace project, she chose to develop her one-woman show, “Coexistence, My Ass!” Shooting on the film began in 2020 and tracks the show’s progress through COVID and Noam’s growing fame, as well as Noam’s own navigation of the attacks on October 7th, their impact on her friends and family, and the subsequent war on Gaza.
Consistent through it all is Noam’s clear-eyed insight—sometimes funny, sometimes deadly serious, sometimes both at the same time. Winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression.

Free Film Screening: Israelism
2025-05-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Vashon Theater, 17723 Vashon Highway SW, Vashon, WA, 98070
Two young American Jews travel to Israel seeking a deeper understanding of the country they were raised to love. What they encounter profoundly impacts them, leading them to join a growing movement to redefine their community’s relationship with Israel in this challenging and emotional journey. Join us for the free screening of this film.
About the film
Two young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel‘s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken.
They join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children.
The film also features voices like Jacqui, a Jewish educator who says “Judaism is Israel and Israel is Judaism”, and former Anti-Defamation League President Abe Foxman, who claims voices like Simone and Eitan’s represent a small minority. Thought leaders like Peter Beinart, Jeremy Ben-Ami, Noura Erakat, Cornel West, and Noam Chomsky also weigh in.
Directed by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the film’s protagonists, Israelism is produced by Peabody-winner and 4-time Emmy-nominee Daniel J. Chalfen (Loudmouth, Boycott), executive produced by two-time Emmy-winner Brian A. Kates (Marvelous Ms. Maisel, Succession) and edited by Emmy-winner Tony Hale (The Story of Plastic), Israelism uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.

Amna's Supper Club: June
2025-05-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Register for Location
Amna’s was born from memories of long dinners with family and friends during Beirut summers, where everyone left the table feeling full in every sense of the word. It is named after my two grandmothers, one an incredible cook and the other with the gift of always bringing people together.
Wanting to build meaningful community, I started hosting gatherings where people could find comfort in others and feel supported. These gatherings turned into monthly supper clubs where guests get to enjoy a multi-course Arab meal and create genuine connections.
Whether you’re craving food from home, curious to try a new cuisine, or simply looking to meet more incredible people – we can’t wait to welcome you!

Kitsap Solidarity Presents: One Family in Gaza
2025-05-31 16:30 - 17:30 | Bainbridge Island Senior/Community Center, 370 Brien Dr. SE, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110
An original play by Crystal Zevon
Based on texts from Yasser in Gaza
In November 2023, Crystal Zevon, a longtime activist for Palestine, began a text conversation with a young 33 year old Palestinian man in Gaza. Yasser is a civil engineer, a husband and the father of three young children under the age of seven. For more than a year, and continuing, Yasser and Crystal have exchanged texts, photos and videos on almost a daily basis. These unedited texts create the basis for telling the poignant, terrifying, and sometimes joyful story of one family’s struggle to survive through a genocide. Yasser’s texts are juxtaposed against news items of corresponding dates, and the thoughts and feelings of someone living in comfort and safety oceans away.
One Family in Gaza is a play about simply that – One Family in Gaza .
The objective for creating this play is three-fold:

To offer a play that is profound in its reliance on the truths disclosed through a relationship grounded in the reality of two distant and distinct realities, yet a play so simple that anyone can perform it anywhere – from a dining room table reading to a staged performance.

To humanize Palestinians by creating a relationship with one family whose loves, fears, hopes and dreams are not unlike yours.

To motivate those who see the play to continue the discussion, to delve beneath the media’s glossing over of a genocide and take action to expose it.
It is through identification with the basic human truths revealed in the daily life of one family that we can and must create change.

Virtual Lecture: Tatreez Symbolisms Interpreting Meaning in Palestinian Embroidery Motifs & Al Naksa
2025-06-06 09:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Virtual Lecture: Tatreez Symbolisms Interpreting Meaning in Palestinian Embroidery Motifs & Al Naksa 🗓 Friday, June 6, 2025 ⏰ 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST 📍 Online (Zoom link sent 24 hours prior) 🎟 Sliding scale registration 👤 Instructor: Wafa Ghnaim, Dress Historian & Educator
This lecture commemorates the Six-Day War (June 5–10, 1967), which began the ongoing Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. In the wake of this seismic event, tatreez shifted in its meaning and function as a form cultural expression. From the intimate labor of individual women’s hands to the international recognition of Palestinian embroidery by UNESCO in 2021 as Intangible Cultural Heritage, tatreez continues to serve as a vessel of collective memory and a historical record of the Palestinian people.
