SUMMARY:Screening Online: ON LANDSCAPES\, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING Curated by: Fawz Kabra
DESCRIPTION:Screening Online: Sept. 19 – 24\, 2024 \nRSVP: artearchive.org \nFREE / $5 suggested donation \nON LANDSCAPES\, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING  is a program of video works that unfold a politics of image-making\, reviewing and recounting social and cultural histories as they are explored through contemporary frameworks. The program is prompted by a work from the ArteArchive—Toukan’s performance video\, Remind me to Remember to Forget (2006)\, after Mahmoud Darwish’s 1982 prose poem\, “Memory for Forgetfulness.” The artist proposes to reverse the act of writing and the will to remember\, consequently dispersing the written word and suspending it in memory and reimagination. \nRevisiting Toukan’s video eighteen years later\, in a global context that remains anxious with war and impending invasions\, Remind me to Remember to Forget is revisited in conversation with works by Alsharif\, Collins\, Hopinka\, Jacir\, and Namy. Through minimalist experiments and lyrical narratives the works address profound violences of colonial erasure of land and people\, the legacies of exile and dispersion\, and our relationship to objects and images when only image and replica remain. \n  \nIn their distinct structural explorations of cycles and repetitions\, these works deal with the promises and devastating blunders of modernity. They connect to land\, time\, and space in a contemporary world charged with a renewed authoritarian tendency that swings from guise and symbolism to blatant and annihilating power. Between lived experiences and replicated environments\, these works present a receding natural world\, real and imagined sites\, and archives that render the architectures of a modern time swept up in a coup of capitalist developments and techno-autocratic fascist regimes. \n  \nON LANDSCAPES\, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING is co-presented with e-flux.

SUMMARY:Arte East Film Series: Exploring Political and Cultural Narratives through Food (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:THERE IS SALT AND BREAD BETWEEN US \n  \nFeaturing Larissa Sansour & Youmna Chlala\, Marwa Benhalim & Andrea Nones-Kobiakov\, and Alia Yunis. \n  \nOnline Screening: September 28- October 1\, 2023 \nRSVP at arabfilmseries.org \nFree / $5 Suggested donation \nAvailable Worldwide \n  \nThe Golden Harvest\, Alia Yunis\, Greece/ Italy/Spain/Palestine\, 2019\, 85 min. \n \nThe Golden Harvest is a 6\,000-year old love story in which the filmmaker tries to understand the profound\, often troubled\, relationship between olive trees and the people of Mediterranean\, including Palestinian father. \n  \nThe Devil’s Recipe\, Marwa Benhalim & Andrea Nones-Kobiakov\, Egypt\, 2020\, 12 min.  \n \nThe Devil’s Recipe is a collaboration between Andrea Nones-Kobiakov and Marwa Benhalim – a playful view of the nonsensicality within political discourses. Mundane everyday objects\, actions\, ingredients\, and utterances emphasize the redundant and useless nature of propagandistic speeches. The reality in the spoken words is mixed to create new fictions\, proverbs\, idioms\, and linguistic manipulations highlighting the absurd illusions of power and stability we regularly are made to believe. Based on remarks by Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías at the 61st United Nations General Assembly\, 2006 and remarks by Muammar al-Gaddafi at the 64th United Nations General Assembly\, 2009. \n  \nTrespass the Salt. Larissa Sansour & Youmna Chlala\, Lebanon\, 2012\, 12 min. \n \nThrough this intimate and fictionalized dinner\, an impossible happening becomes real. The work explores cultural fabrications and similarities in a non-mediated moment outside the Western gaze – even if the space it seeks is invariably conditioned by it. This work was initially a 3-channel video installation. \n  \nThe Arab Film Series online is a monthly program of films and discussions with artists and filmmakers from the SWANA region and its diasporas\, presented by ArteEast in partnership with the Arab American National Museum and Arab Film and Media Institute.

SUMMARY:Mohamed Soueid Retrospective:  Movie Series
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by ArteEast and Anthology Film Archives\, and curated by Giovanni Vimercati\, this series is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive\, which preserves and presents over 17 years of film and video programming by ArteEast.  \n  \nVideo pioneer\, cinema auteur\, and television producer Mohamed Soueid has collected stories from his compatriots for most of his adult life. Widely regarded as Beirut’s first video artist\, Soueid films defy categorization. \nhttps://arteeast.org/news-events/mohamad-soueid-retrospective/ \nMOHAMED SOUEID RETROSPECTIVE \nOnline Screening: March 3-13 \nFree / $5 suggested donation \nRSVP at artearchive.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINEMA FOUAD \n1994\, 41 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“A documentary on the life and ambitions of a young Lebanese cross-dresser\, the video follows her journey from soldier to cabaret dancer in an effort to raise funds for her sex change operation. Shot in Beirut\, CINEMA FOUAD weaves a complex and multi-layered story of sexuality\, identity\, and desire\, and paints a compelling portrait of its subject.” \n–THIRD WORLD NEWSREEL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTANGO OF YEARNING \n1998\, 70 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nOne of Soueid’s finest and most representative cinematographic achievements\, TANGO OF \nYEARNING melancholically exemplifies the relational essence of his cinema. It is at once a film about love (for cinema\, for life and its characters)\, about Soueid’s work for the Lebanese state broadcaster Tele Liban\, and about the mysterious death of the Egyptian Jewish actress Camelia. \n  \nThe film’s sinuous and free-flowing shape is not so much a rejection of the linear narratives of realism\, but an acknowledgment of reality’s unmoored dynamics and the role memory plays in \nits construction. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNIGHTFALL / INDAMA YA’ATI AL-MASA \n2000\, 68 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \n“On the surface\, NIGHTFALL is a semi-autobiographical reconstruction of the militant years of Fatah’s Student Brigade; a series of conversations and interviews between the director and his \nold comrades\, most of whom spend their time meditating their movement’s defeat in a state of drunken incoherence. Throughout NIGHTFALL\, Soueid remains uncompromisingly bleak about the state of the Palestinian revolution at the turn of the new millennium. It is not just the individual militants who now suffer from a crisis of identity\, but the very slogans of the struggle \nitself – and thus\, its history. What is to be recovered\, then\, from the ramblings of these old Maoists?” \n– Francesco Anselmetti\, SAFAR JOURNAL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER / MA HATAFTU LI GHAYRIHA \n2008\, 87 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nThrough the story of a son reconstructing his father’s revolutionary past from a diary\, Soueid draws a portrait of two generations of men\, fathers and sons\, who were revolutionaries of the 1970s. This is a poetic flight in time\, back to when young men dreamed of changing the world \nwith their own hands\, and forward to a present where young men just want the security of a salaried job. At the same time\, MY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR HER is a film about Lebanon’s schizophrenic modern history\, caught in between the neoliberal lure of financial capitalism and the internationalist dreams of revolution. Between its sudden kindness and unforeseen brutality. \nBetween Hong Kong and Hanoi. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE INSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER \n2020\, 170 min\, digital. In Arabic with English subtitles. \n  \nSoueid’s magnus opus\, a gargantuan flux that is both timeless and multi-temporal\, THE \nINSOMNIA OF A SERIAL DREAMER amalgamates the past into the present\, and from the schizophrenic streets of Beirut opens onto the world: the world that a Middle East Airlines captain has traveled and now remembers from his patio\, but also the world of boundless love one of Soueid’s friends has for the Egyptian singer and actress Souad Hosny. In order to fall asleep\, the director asked his friends and artistic accomplices to tell him stories\, resulting in a film of rarefied\, oneiric beauty.

SUMMARY:Unpacking the ArteArchive Online Film Program: Four Films
DESCRIPTION:This film series includes a cult-classic from the archives\, an essay film exploring the nature of archiving\, and three experiments in transmission: celluloid\, CGI\, and the mosalsalat. They are examples of imagining otherwise\, in a region where feminist histories remain on the margins. \n\nIn South West Asia and North Africa\, there are historical records of women’s cinema since the 1920s. However\, a lack of state funding for archival projects\, as well as factors such as conflict and war\, mean that we often encounter these films only through written accounts. The films themselves are inaccessible\, or more often damaged or lost. \nFeminist history is subversive\, and often excluded from mainstream historiographies. Since the 1970s\, many women have made films about archiving practice\, or their own cultural histories\, which have been erased from popular imagination. In more recent times\, digital technology has become a mode of reconstructing stories in the absence of archival material\, as well as a tool to undertake more ambitious restoration projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nTHE NOUBA WOMEN OF MOUNT CHENOUA\, Assia Djebar\, Algeria\,1977\, 115 min\, 35mm-to-digital.In Arabic and French w/ English subtitles \n  \nKHTOBTOGONE\, Sara Sadik\, France\, 2021\, 16 min\, digital. In French w/ English subtitles. \n  \nA FEELING GREATER THAN LOVE / SHU’OUR AKBAR MIN AL HOB\, Mary Jirmanus Saba\, Lebanon\, 2017\, 99 min\, digital. In Arabic w/ English subtitles. \n  \nGHARIBA\, Meriem Bennani\, Morocco/U.S.\, 2017\, 19 min\, digital. In Arabic w/ English subtitles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP FOR ARCHIVE FEVER ONLINE SCREENING!\n\n\nCo-presented by ArteEast and Anthology Film Archives\, this series is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive\, which preserves and presents over 17 years of film and video programming by ArteEast. In addition to the in-person\, theatrical screenings at Anthology Film Archives\, the series will be presented on artearchive.org from February 4 -13. For more information\, visit artearchive.org
