SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Yommedine
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Yommedine (Egyptian director and About Egypt)\nBashay\, the protagonist of Yomeddine\, is that rare cinematic character you may never have seen onscreen before. A lifelong resident of a leper colony north of Cairo\, where he married and made a life as a garbage collector\, he decides one day to search for the family who left him there as a child. With his young friend Obama (like “the guy on TV”) and his donkey Harby\, Bashay sets out on his journey in a film that is part road movie\, part buddy comedy\, and part affecting neorealist drama. The bittersweet story is told with clear-eyed candor\, but also with sly humor and warm humanity. “Yomeddine” is Arabic for Judgment Day\, referenced here by characters who hope one day to be judged by their inner worth rather than their outward appearance. In this remarkable first feature\, director A. B. Shawky revisits the leper colony where he earlier made a documentary short\, and met Rady Gamal\, the charismatic non-professional actor who plays Bashay. Shawky’s documentary roots and Gamal’s performance both contribute to the film’s naturalistic style\, enhanced by Federico Cesca’s cinematography (Patti Cake$\, SIFF 2017 and Dead Pigs\, SIFF 2018). \n– Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nEgyptian/Austrian director A.B. Shawky met the lead actor for Yomeddine at an Egyptian leper colony that had been the subject of an earlier documentary short he made while a student in Cairo. He expanded the idea into a nonfiction film for his thesis for NYC’s Tisch School of the Arts. \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/yommedine \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 8:30pm \nMonday\, May 20\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 4:30pm

SUMMARY:Cookbook Club Potluck Supper:  Zaitoun
DESCRIPTION:Cookbook Club Potluck Supper:  Zaitoun\n\n\nWe don’t need an instructor to show us how to sit around the table and eat a meal together! So we’re breaking out of the class format in this installment of our cookbook club potluck suppers\, where we’ll all explore a new cookbook together. This time around we’ll be cooking from “Zaitoun: Recipes from the Palestinian Kitchen”\, written by Yasmin Khan. You cook a recipe from the book\, and we’ll pour the wine (and do the dishes!). We’ll be in touch before the potluck so you can sign up for your favorite dish.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - EXT. Night
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – EXT. Night (Egyptian director\, About Egypt)\nThe latest film from SIFF favorite Ahmad Abdalla (Microphone\, Rags and Tatters\, Decor) is an exploration of life in contemporary Cairo as seen through the eyes of three characters who come together for one 24-hour period. Moe is a film director\, and the film opens on the set of his current project\, which is in turmoil. His personal life is no better; his girlfriend has recently left him\, and his novelist friend has been sentenced to prison for using “profound language” in his work. Heading across town to edit\, he is picked up by taxi driver Mustafa\, but due to Cairo’s notorious traffic\, their progress is slow. They take a detour to Mustafa’s nephew’s place where they encounter Hala\, a sex worker and one of Mustafa’s earlier fares. Together the three embark on a meandering journey around town which lasts the rest of the night\, and takes the middle-class Moe into neighborhoods and circumstances that he might not otherwise experience\, given Cairo’s social segregation. Class\, gender\, and religion all contribute to the shifting dynamics among the three characters\, in this portrait of Egyptian society in the aftermath of the failed revolution. \nDirector Biography\nEgyptian filmmaker Ahmad Abdalla studied music in Cairo before shifting his career to film editing in 2003. He directed his first feature film Heliopolis in 2009\, one of the first independent Egyptian films to be released theatrically in Egypt\, and his award-winning film Microphone (2010) was selected among the best 100 Arabic films in history by the Dubai Film Festival.

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Funke
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Funke (Arab director)\nn 2015\, Evan Funke was one of the brightest stars on the American culinary scene. Bucato\, his first critically lauded restaurant\, served capacity crowds night after night. But when allegations of fraud and financial malfeasance forced its closure\, Funke became persona non grata in the Los Angeles restaurant world. Director Gab Taraboulsy’s engrossing documentary portrait of the chef follows Funke as he embarks upon his comeback. Still healing from the emotional pain of his past failure\, Funke struggles to balance his artistic aspirations with the rank commercial difficulties of opening his new trattoria\, Felix\, on the most competitive street for restaurants in America. His journey toward redemption sees him voyaging through the pasta schools of Bologna (to reconnect with his mentor\, Alessandra Spisni)\, the culinary archaeological streets of Bari\, and the obsessive laboratories of Tokyo as he reconnects with the best artisan pasta makers in the world. Throughout this journey\, Taraboulsy delivers keen insight into the chef’s philosophy and intricate techniques as he handcrafts fresh\, heirloom pastas that even the most avid Italian foodies may never have seen or tasted. Passionate and thoughtful\, Funke is an ode to the art of pasta and a forthright look at the stark realities of the restaurant business. \n— Dan Doody \nDirector Biography\nDeeply passionate about the culinary world\, Gab Taraboulsy has been unearthing stories\, as a writer\, director\, and producer\, in kitchens and restaurants all over the world. His documentary series “The Grill Iron” (2014) garnered a James Beard Nomination\, and “Heritage” (2016) won a Webby Award for Best Documentary Series. Returning to Los Angeles’s competitive food scene\, Funke (2018) is Taraboulsy’s documentary feature debut. \nSponsored by KIXI 880 AM\, Princi\, Punch Drunk \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/funke \nMonday\, May 27\, 2019 – Lincoln Square\, 6:00pm \nFriday\, May 31\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 6:30pm \nSaturday\, June 1\, 2o19 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 3:00pm
