SUMMARY:NWFF Movie:  Boycott (in person)
DESCRIPTION:When a news publisher in Arkansas\, an attorney in Arizona\, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs\, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across 33 states in America.\nBoycott traces the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individuals and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights record. A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story\, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.\n  \nWatch in person: Sep. 29 at 6:30pm

SUMMARY:Shall I Compare You to a Summer's Day? (Bashtaalak sa’at) [In-Person Only]
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\n\n\n\n(Mohammad Shawky Hassan\, Egypt\, Lebanon & Germany\, 2022\, 66 min\, in English and Arabic with English subtitles) \n** US premiere! Co-presented by Goethe Pop Up Seattle & Three Dollar Bill Cinema ** \nIn celebration of Seattle Pride\, we are proud to partner with Three Dollar Bill Cinema to present the US premiere of Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day\, the arty\, sensual\, and short first feature film by Egyptian video artist and filmmaker Mohammad Shawky Hassan. Imaginatively shot in blue-screen studios in Berlin\, Shall I Compare You is set in a time that is part tongue-in-cheek mythical past\, part relentlessly contemporary\, all queer\, and all Cairo. When our mistress of ceremonies (the Egyptian singer\, actor\, and powerful diva Donia Massoud) undertakes to tell the story of a queer romance\, she is diverted endlessly among the intersecting and diverging tales of the men of Club Scheherezade. This storybook Club is in an Egypt where gay and queer people can date\, kiss\, argue\, and hold hands without (or almost without) fear. The fact that this freedom must be fantastical is the determinedly cheerful movie’s sucker punch \nThe movie’s light tone belies an artistic seriousness of intent\, and the everyday intimacies of the men before the screen are given the weight of legend by fable-like chapter titles from the Arabian Nights and by song\, mostly decontextualized Egyptian pop\, sung earnestly by the men themselves or by Massoud.  Slyly carnal\, Shall I Compare You almost literally goes inside relationships\, hookups\, and the space between while finding wonderful opportunities for solidarity among its characters \nIn the film’s slippery\, giddily artificial structure\, Hassan employs what has been called a queer dramaturgy\, characterized by a subversive joy in digression and sexuality not unrelated\, perhaps\, to that of the original Arabian Nights. Shall I Compare You brings a gloriously peculiar perspective to a complex of relationships that are limned by Grindr\, tempted and troubled by polyamory\, and full\, always\, of sincerity and heart.

SUMMARY:Gaza Fights for Freedom - Movie at Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Gaza Fights for Freedom\nThis debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine\, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockade. \nThis collaboration shows you Gaza’s protest movement like you’ve never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March of Return protests\, it features exclusive footage of demonstrations where 200 unarmed civilians have been killed by Israeli snipers since March 30\, 2018. \nThe documentary tells the story of Gaza past and present\, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. Victims are heard from the ongoing massacre\, including journalists\, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic\, Razan al-Najjar.

SUMMARY:What is Democracy? - Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Film: What is Democracy?\n\n** Co-presented with Town Hall Seattle! ** \nComing at a moment of profound political and social crisis\, What Is Democracy? reflects on a word we too often take for granted. Director Astra Taylor’s idiosyncratic\, philosophical journey spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athens’ groundbreaking experiment in self-government to capitalism’s roots in medieval Italy; from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collapse and a mounting refugee crisis to the United States reckoning with its racist past and the growing gap between rich and poor. \nFeaturing a diverse cast —including celebrated theorists\, trauma surgeons\, activists\, factory workers\, asylum seekers\, and former prime ministers—this urgent film connects the past and the present\, the emotional and the intellectual\, the personal and the political\, in order to provoke and inspire. If we want to live in democracy\, we must first ask what the word even means. From the director of Zizek! and Examined Life. \n\n
