SUMMARY:SAFF Arab Film Club: Israel Palestine on Swedish TV
DESCRIPTION:When his father dies\, Dib\, his younger brother and their mother move away from their hometown Quneitra to Damascus. The mother’s despotic father reluctantly takes them in and tries to force the mother to remarry. Overwhelmed by the magic of the city\, Dib wants to discover everything and is full of dreams. His daily life is shaped by insults and punishments however. Dib grows up against a backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1950s (the end of the military dictatorship in Syria and the nationalization of the Suez Canal\, Nasser’s taking of power in Cairo\, Egyptian and Syrian unification in 1958) and loses his childish illusions in the face of such violence and brutality. The dreams of the city prove to be a nightmare. Mohammad Malas’ partly autobiographical debut film marked the transition to auteur cinema in Syria. \nAlso showing: \n\nSat Oct 25: 5.30pm PDT\n\n\nSun Oct 26: 1.00pm PDT\, 5.30pm PDT\n\n\nSat Nov 01: 1.00pm PDT\, 5.30pm PDT\n\n\nSun Nov 02: 2.30pm PDT

SUMMARY:Movie: Foragers + Floral Autumnal Wreath Making
DESCRIPTION:Anker + @manetteflowerco with @kitsappalestinesolidarity invite you to watch and discuss Jumana Manna’s film\, FORAGERS. Afterwards\, participants will combine foraged and provided floral to create autumnal wreaths to be taken home. Refreshments provided. \n100% of proceeds will benefit @ele_elna_elak\, a volunteer-driven campaign providing water and food to displaced families across Gaza. The funds go directly to purchasing goods and covering distribution costs on the ground. \nSaturday\, October 25\n1:30 – 5:00\n$100 donation or give what you can \nRSVP link in profile.\nDM if you would like to contribute floral\, photography\, food or volunteer. \nAbout FORAGERS\nFORAGERS depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights\, the Galilee and Jerusalem\, it moves between fiction\, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme)\, and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians\, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land while Israeli state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen\, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol\, to courtroom defenses\, FORAGERS captures the inherited love\, joy and knowledge in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law.

SUMMARY:Fest: Kinan Azmeh
DESCRIPTION:Yaniv Attar Conductor\nKinan Azmeh Clarinet \nStrauss Jr\, Tales from the Vienna Woods\nSchubert\, Symphony No. 2\nJacobsen/Aghaei\, Ascending Bird\nKinan Azmeh\, Suite for Improvisor and Orchestra  \nRunning time with intermission — 100 min \n\n\nOpening with a mini-Oktoberfest celebration! We’re serving complimentary locally crafted brews from Camp Colvos and soft pretzels. \n\n\nStep into the Vienna Woods with fluted bird song\, folks tunes and yes\, zither (rare instrument alert!). Zither player Kurt Eckroth joins us for the iconic Ländler country dance tune\, which then whisks us into a whirlwind of 5 glorious waltzes. \n\n\nAscending Bird tells the story of a mythic bird that tries to reach the sun. It tries at first and falls back down. It tries again\, then finally on the third time it receives the radiant embrace of the sun and loses its physical body\, in a metaphor for spiritual transcendence. The music is an arrangement of an old Persian folk tune\, starting gently and working up to a thrilling close. \n\n\nHailed as ‘spellbinding’ (The New Yorker) and ‘intensely soulful’ (The New York Times)\, guest artist and composer Kinan Azmeh brings us his genre-bending Suite for Improvisor and Orchestra. The suite takes us from Love on 139th Street in D\, a vibrant homage to Harlem’s cultural mix\, to November 22nd\, a meditative reflection on finding home far from home\, and concludes with Wedding\, in the spirit of a Syrian village celebration. \n\n\nSeating is at 8-top tables for both concerts\, general admission. Come with friends and make new friends! \n\n\nParking at both Foss Waterway Seaport Museum (Saturday) and Pioneer Park Pavilion (Sunday) is free. \n\n\nConcert sponsored by Concrete Technology Corporation \n

SUMMARY:SAFF Arab Film Club: Israel Palestine on Swedish TV
DESCRIPTION:When his father dies\, Dib\, his younger brother and their mother move away from their hometown Quneitra to Damascus. The mother’s despotic father reluctantly takes them in and tries to force the mother to remarry. Overwhelmed by the magic of the city\, Dib wants to discover everything and is full of dreams. His daily life is shaped by insults and punishments however. Dib grows up against a backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1950s (the end of the military dictatorship in Syria and the nationalization of the Suez Canal\, Nasser’s taking of power in Cairo\, Egyptian and Syrian unification in 1958) and loses his childish illusions in the face of such violence and brutality. The dreams of the city prove to be a nightmare. Mohammad Malas’ partly autobiographical debut film marked the transition to auteur cinema in Syria. \nAlso showing: \n\nSat Nov 01: 5.30pm PDT\n\n\nSun Nov 02: 2.30pm PDT

SUMMARY:Palestine Cinema Days: Movie: Divine Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Palestine Cinema Days: Divine Intervention\nSun Nov 02: 7.00pm PDT \nFree Admission! Please RSVP here. \nAbout\n(Elia Suleiman\, Palestine & France\, 2002\, 92min\, in Arabic\, English\, and Arabic\, Hebrew\, and English with English subtitles) \nIn Nazareth\, under a guise of banal normalcy\, the town embraces folly. \nUnder pressure from his failing business\, a man takes matters into his own hands and tries to break a chain reaction of petty feuds. He breaks down himself. The man is E.S. father. \nA love story takes place between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah. The man  E.S.  shifts between his ailing father and his love life\, trying to keep both alive. \nBecause of the political situation\, the womans freedom of movement ends at the Israeli army checkpoint between the two cities. Barred from crossing\, the lovers intimate encounters take place on a deserted lot right beside the checkpoint. The lovers are unable to exempt reality from occupation. \nA complicity of solemn desire begins to generate violent repercussions and\, against the odds\, their angry hearts counter-attack with spasms of spectacular fantasy . \nPresented as a part of Palestine Cinema Days 2025 \nOn the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration\, observed on November 2nd\, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices\, we are screening Divine Intervention directed by Elia Suleiman at 7:00 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum. The screening is free of charge.
