SUMMARY:SIFF Movie: May Day
DESCRIPTION:Spain | 2026 | 103 min. | Ian de la Rosa\nIván (Silver Chicón)\, a young trans man working in a greenhouse in southern Spain\, shoulders the burden of supporting his family through long\, grueling shifts. His routine is disrupted by the arrival of Hadoum (Herminia Loh Moreno)\, a migrant worker of Moroccan descent who drifts from job to job in her battered van. Though they could not be more different\, an undeniable chemistry sparks between them. As their relationship deepens\, Iván is promoted and becomes Hadoum’s supervisor\, throwing their attraction into a precarious and ethically charged path. Set against the working-class landscape of Almería\, the film reveals the contradictions of inequality shaped by identity\, labor\, and social prejudice. Iván and Hadoum must navigate external expectations while confronting their own fears and desires. Chicón and Loh Moreno anchor the film with performances full of resilience\, openness\, and quiet nobility\, bringing their characters to life with profound humanity and emotional depth. Winner of the Teddy Award at the Berlinale Film Festival and three Silver Biznagas at the Málaga Film Festival—including the Special Jury Prize and Best Male Performance for Chicón—Ian de la Rosa’s striking debut offers a vivid portrait of social divides: between employers and employees\, “Spaniards” and immigrants. Against this backdrop\, a tender\, Romeo-and-Juliet–like romance unfolds\, where love dares to bridge the divides that society has set between them.

SUMMARY:Tatreez and Tea Virtual Lecture Registration: The Village Series
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lecture Registration: The Village Series\n\nVillage Series\, Part I \nTwo Sessions: May 8 & 22\, 2026\, Friday\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed at 10am EST on event day\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale within range \nDescription: \nUntil the mid-twentieth century\, the dress of the Palestinian people was descriptive of identity; first by societal segment (city dweller\, villager or nomad)\, and then by the region in which the wearer came. Within each regional style\, finer distinctions in women’s dress (thobe) were expressed that shared the maker’s life and the natural world around her. Palestinian women recorded their identity in their thobe with embroidery (tatreez) through a shared illustrative language of embroidered patterns\, stitching techniques and thread colors. The thobe records unwritten stories and serves as a visual register of collective and individual identities\, documenting a woman’s village\, tribe or town\, her marital status\, her familial lineage\, and the material impact of colonialism\, occupation\, war and exile. The regional identity of the woman defines the overall governing style of her thobe\, and evidence of identity is largely through her relationship to land. \nThis course is a consolidated version of a portion of the Village Series\, with updates\, originally taught across twelve classes. Between 2020 and 2023\, Wafa taught 22 cohorts of students. This consolidated version includes the villages and cities noted below\, and does not have a stitching component. These are lectures only. \nSession 1: Jerusalem\, Bethlehem\, Tulkarm\, Nablus\, Tubas\nSession 2: Bir Saba and North Sinai\, with discussion of other Bedouin styles in historic Palestine \nAuthored by Wafa Ghnaim \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to both sessions\, each 2-hours that include Q&A sessions\nA recording for 7 days after the live session\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nTickets include access to both sessions and are nonrefundable.\nThis is a live virtual event hosted via Zoom. If you are unable to attend live\, you may still register to receive access to the recording.\nRegistration closes at 10:00 AM EST on the morning of the first lecture.\nWaiting room closes at 12:30 PM EST.\nAll participant names should match their registration name.\nA Zoom link will be sent to registered participants at 10am EST on event day.\nThe instructor reserves the right to review and decline registrations at her discretion to ensure a respectful and safe learning environment for all participants.\nCamera sharing is required for all attendees.\nInterested in learning something?

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ceasefire in Lebanon: Between Negotiation and Reality
DESCRIPTION:About the Webinar\nCeasefire in Lebanon: Between Negotiation and Reality\nUnpacking the Questions of Sovereignty\, Deterrence\, and Recovery \nThe fragile ceasefire in Lebanon continues to be strained by repeated Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and retaliatory fire from Hezbollah. Amid rising casualties and displacement\, the US-mediated 10‑day truce was extended for three weeks following high‑level meetings in Washington. Negotiations have progressed through rare direct talks between Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors\, focusing on prolonging the ceasefire and laying the groundwork for broader agreements on security\, border management\, and reconstruction. Diplomatic activity also remains active\, with reports of upcoming state‑level engagements in Washington\, while discussions about Hezbollah’s weapons and the long‑term stability of the border continue to shape the diplomatic agenda.
