SUMMARY:Arab Film Club: Alexandria... Why? [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:(Youssef Chahine\, 1979\, Egypt\, 133 min\, in Egyptian Arabic with English subtitles) \nAlexandria during World War II. Yehia\, a young man in his final year of school who loves movies and music\, dreams of making it to Hollywood. But like most of Egypt’s middle class\, the war has left his parents in a tight financial situation. Through Yehia’s endeavors\, his Christian family and his diverse group of friends\, we are exposed to different segments of Alexandrian society: from Egyptian and British soldiers\, communist workers and patriotic aristocrats to social climbers and war profiteers. A rich\, dynamic portrait of the director’s beloved city during a seminal moment in its long and layered history. \nAn Egyptian classic\, Alexandria…Why? won the Silver Bear – Special Jury Prize at the 29th Berlin International Film Festival in 1979. \nAbout Youssef Chahine: \nBorn in Alexandria in 1926 to a middle-class family of Greek and Lebanese origin\, Chahine came into the world between the wars in the heart of the region’s most cosmopolitan city. From an early age he developed a passion for theater\, cinema\, and Shakespeare. After spending a year at the University of Alexandria\, he decided to study acting at California’s Pasadena Playhouse\, only to quickly turn to directing. Chahine’s reputation as an international auteur was established early on; his sophomore effort Son of the Nile (Ibn el Nil\, 1951) was nominated for Cannes’ Grand Prix of the Festival in 1952. \n– Bio by Joseph Fahim\nWed Jun 25: 6.30pm PDT \nGET TICKETS HERE!

DESCRIPTION:Tapping into the collective unconscious\, this showcase excavates shared knowledge buried just below the surface.

SUMMARY:No Other Land (in person) - NWFF
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards!  \nBasel Adra\, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta\, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval\, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle\, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel\, living under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval\, unrestricted and free. This film\, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists\, was co-created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. \nSynopsis courtesy of mTuckman Media \nSun Mar 02: 4.00pm PDT

He crosses paths with Yuval\, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle\, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel\, living under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval\, unrestricted and free. This film\, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists\, was co-created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. \nSynopsis courtesy of mTuckman Media \n\nSat Feb 22: 4.00pm PDT\, 7.00pm PDT\nFri Feb 28: 7.00pm PDT\nSat Mar 01: 4.00pm PDT\, 7.00pm PDT\nSun Mar 02: 4.00pm PDT

SUMMARY:Movie: From Ground Zero at the Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Shortlisted for Best International Feature for the 2025 Academy Awards\, FROM GROUND ZERO is an anthology project comprised of 22 short films created by filmmakers from Gaza. Launched by renowned Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi\, the initiative was created during the current 2023/2024 conflict and aims to provide a platform for young Palestinian artists to express themselves through their craft. \nEach film\, ranging in length from three to six minutes\, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave\, including the challenges\, tragedies\, and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction\, documentary\, docu-fiction\, animation\, and experimental cinema\, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow\, joy\, and hope inherent in Gazan life. \nDespite harsh filming conditions\, Gaza’s vibrant artistic scene shines through this stunning anthology film\, which offers an intimate and powerful portrait of daily life in modern-day Palestine – and the enduring spirit of its people. \nIn Arabic with English subtitles. \n“The fact that this film even exists seems miraculous… [From Ground Zero] aims to humanize\, to empathize\, to go beyond the headlines and geopolitics. It aims to convey the hopes and dreams of everyday people\, which persist even in dire circumstances.” Jennifer Green\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists \n“A powerful cry to the world that these filmmakers\, collaborators\, and people walking in the background are still there\, still living under worsening conditions\, and still need help. From Ground Zero is an unforgettable exhibition of the human spirit.” Monica Castillo\, RogerEbert.com

SUMMARY:Palestine Cinema Days: 2024
DESCRIPTION:A poignant\, sometimes sad\, sometimes painful\, sometimes humorous\, often absurd story of a multiple journey: the journey of loss as the directors mother Aida struggled with losing herself to Alzheimers disease\, but finding solace in her repeated returning to the Yafa and Palestine of her youth; the journey of the loss of a parent; and the ultimate return journey back to Yafa where Aida would finally find rest and be herself once more. \nPresented as a part of Palestine Cinema Days 2024 \nOn the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration\, observed on November 2nd\, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices\, we are screening Aida Returns directed by Carol Mansour at 7:30 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum. The screening is free of charge. \n(Carol Mansour\, Canada\, Lebanon\, United States\, 2024\, 1hour 12min\, in Arabic\, English\, and French with English subtitles) \n

SUMMARY:Movie: Lyd
DESCRIPTION:Lyd is a feature-length\, speculative documentary that follows the rise and fall of Lyd (alternatively Lod\, as it is now called)\, a 5\,000-year-old metropolis that was a bustling Palestinian town\, until it was taken over by the state of Israel. As the film unfolds\, residents create a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and exemplify the trauma left by the 1948 massacre and expulsion. Vivid animations envision an alternate reality where the same people live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. Using never-before-seen archival footage of Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion\, the personified city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured reality\, and now there are two Lyds — one occupied and one free. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities\, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning which future should prevail. \nLyd dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?

SUMMARY:Seattle Arab Film Festival: Love and Revolt
DESCRIPTION:Ten compelling shorts from a remarkable group of emerging and established filmmakers\n“Love & Revolt\,” the 5th edition of the Seattle Arab Film Festival (SAFF)\, is a celebration of the rebellious spirit of Arab stories despite the pain of oppression. \nTo address the horrifying injustices that continue to be inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza\, and the non-stop efforts to erase their narrative\, SAFF will be featuring films labeled “Made in Palestine\,” including An Orange from Jaffa\, recipient of the Grand Prize at the 2024 Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival and The Key\, which premiered at SXSW Film Festival. \nThe screenings will be divided in two sections – “Parallel Time” and “A Place Without A Door\,” both titles inspired by the work of the late Palestinian author Walid Daqqa – separated by a brief intermission. Each film program is a similar balance of themes: From Egypt to New York\, young people experiment with gender roles and their sexual desires despite gatekeepers\, while in Algeria and Morocco\, estranged families and angry couples are brought together by the sea. The lineup consists of a total of ten short films from the US and the Arab world\, both live-action and animation\, and featuring themes of love\, family and exile.

As the film unfolds\, residents create a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and exemplify the trauma left by the 1948 massacre and expulsion. Vivid animations envision an alternate reality where the same people live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. Using never-before-seen archival footage of Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion\, the personified city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured reality\, and now there are two Lyds — one occupied and one free. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities\, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning which future should prevail. \nLyd dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened? \n\n\nThu Aug 08: 7.00pm PDT\n\n\nWed Aug 14: 7.30pm PDT\n\n\nThu Aug 15: 7.30pm PDT\n\n\nFri Aug 16: 7.30pm PDT\n\n\nSat Aug 17: 4.30pm PDT\n\n\nSun Aug 18: 4.30pm PDT\, 7.30pm PDT
