SUMMARY:Movie: 1982 at SIFF
DESCRIPTION:Lebanon | 2019 | 100 min. | Oualid Mouaness \n\n\n\n1982 is a life-affirming coming-of-age tale set at an idyllic school in Lebanon’s mountains on the eve of a looming invasion. It unfolds over a single day and follows an 11-year-oldboy’s relentless quest to profess his love to a girl in his class. As the invasion encroaches on Beirut\, it upends the day\, threatening the entire country and its cohesion. Within the microcosm of the school\, the film draws a harrowing portrait of a society torn between its desire for love and peace and the ideological schisms unraveling its seams. \nIn his debut feature\, Oualid Mouaness delivers an ode to innocence in which he revisits one of the most cataclysmic moments in Lebanon’s history through the lens of a child and his vibrant imagination. It demonstrates the complexities of love and war\, and the resilience of the human spirit. \n\n\n\nDirector:Oualid Mouaness\nPrincipal Cast:Nadine Labaki\, Mohamad Dalli\, Rodrigue Sleiman\, Aliya Khalidi\nCountry:Lebanon\, France\, Norway\, Qatar\, USA\nYear:2019\nRunning Time:100 min.\nAwards:TIFF19 Netpac Award\, Grand Prix Cannes Écrans Juniors 2021\, Oscars 2020 Official Selection (International Feature Film)\nLanguage:Arabic\, English\nHas Subtitles:Yes\nUS Distributor:Tricycle Logic (theatrical)\nInternational Sales:House Of Film

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Crescendo at SIFF
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled! \nAs part of a peace summit\, a world-famous German conductor (Peter Simonischek; THE INTERPRETER\, SJFF 2019) creates an orchestra of specially chosen Israeli and Palestinian youth musicians. But can music overcome the feelings of mistrust and suspicion striking chords and shrill notes onstage and off? It takes all the conductor’s skill and resources—and divulging his own tragic story—to overcome the discord and teach them how to achieve harmony\, leading to a tense and emotional finale. \nAcademy Award-nominated director Dror Zahavi has united an impressive supporting cast of Israeli and Palestinian non-actors playing the students into a convincing ensemble\, who fight\, argue\, laugh\, and make music together in this dramatic\, humanist hymn about forgiveness\, reconciliation\, and the astounding power of music. \nWinner of the 2019 Audience Prize at the Festival of German Film. \nDror Zahavi | Drama | Germany\, Israel\, Italy | 2019 | English\, German w/English subtitles | 112m \nRating: PG-13 \nSpecial Guest Intro and performance by Bram Schenck\, principal clarinetist for Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra and member of the National Youth Orchestra

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - Tel Aviv on Fire  - Won Best of SIFF!
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – Tel Aviv on Fire (Palestinian Director)\nThis movie won for people’s choice!  So is playing again! \nIn this clever comedy from writer/director Sameh Zoabi\, Salam is a hapless 30-something production assistant on his uncle’s TV show\, a popular Palestinian soap opera called “Tel Aviv On Fire.” Set in 1967\, just a few months before the start of the Six-Day War\, the show is a huge hit with audiences on both sides of the divide. Things start looking up for Salam when an offhand remark impresses the show’s star and results in his promotion to writer. The promotion even impresses Miriam\, Salam’s ex-girlfriend\, whom he hopes to win back. Living in Jerusalem\, he must pass through the Ramallah checkpoint every day to get to the studio. One day he’s interrogated by Israeli military commander Assi\, whose wife just happens to be a huge fan of the show. Assi is full of ideas for improving the script (and impressing his wife)\, which works to Salam’s advantage—until Assi and the show’s producers want to take the story in distinctly different directions. With the season finale looming\, it’s up to Salam to figure out a resolution that will keep everyone happy. \n— Justine Barda \nDirector Biography\nSameh Zoabi was born in 1975 in Iskal\, a Palestinian village near the city of Nazareth. He graduated from Tel Aviv University with a dual degree in Film Studies and English Literature before earning a Fulbright Fellowship to earn his MFA in Filmmaking from Columbia University in 2005. With films like Tel Aviv On Fire (2018)\, Zoabi seeks to invoke humor in difficult narratives\, stating\, “We talk about Palestine being a place that is very hard\, but I always remember people laughing all the time.” In addition to filmmaking\, Zoabi is an adjunct professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts\, Hunter College\, and Columbia University’s MFA program\, teaching courses in direction\, production\, and screenwriting.\n \nSponsored by Diageo Americas\, Inc.\, The Fools \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/tel-aviv-on-fire \nThursday\, May 30\, 2019\, AMC Pacific Place\, 7pm \nFriday\, May 31\, 2019\, SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 3:30pm

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - What Walaa Wants
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – What Walaa Wants (About Palestine)\nGrowing up in Balata\, a refugee camp in the West Bank\, Walaa dreams of being a police officer with the Palestinian National Authority\, the entity governing the Palestinian territories. This documentary follows her progress over five years\, from ages 15 to 21\, as she pursues that goal. She’s got her work cut out for her; rebellious and headstrong\, she is often at odds with those around her. She doesn’t adapt easily to the discipline of basic training or the tough love of her commanding officer. At home\, a complicated relationship with her mother poses its own challenges (she was 7 when her mother was sent to prison\, convicted of helping a would-be suicide bomber). And the outside world in which she lives her daily life is one of uncertainty\, repression\, and violence. But despite these obstacles\, Walaa is tenacious; she is charting her own path and struggling to follow it. With remarkable access to her subject at home\, at school\, and at work\, in interactions with family\, friends\, and colleagues\, filmmaker Christy Garland tells the story of a young woman determined to take charge of her life. \n— Justine Barda \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/what-walaa-wants \nFriday\, May 17\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 1:30pm \nTuesday\, June 4\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 9:30pm \nWednesday\, June 5\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 4pm

SUMMARY:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) - For Sama
DESCRIPTION:SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival 2019) – For Sama (Syrian Director\, about Syria)\nWinner of both the Audience Award and Grand Jury Award for Documentary at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival\, For Sama stands as both a harrowing witness to the Syrian tragedy as it unfolded in Aleppo and a touching love letter from a mother to her young child. While the bombs are falling across her city\, director Waad al-Kateab films her first-person diaristic letter to her recently born daughter Sama\, uncertain she will survive long enough for Sama to know her mother outside of the videos she shoots. Unsparing in its details and unflinching in what it captures\, al-Kateab’s work reveals the brutal impact of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s civil war\, relaying its impact in palpably humanistic terms. Both in the home they share and at the hospital where Waad’s husband labors as a direct responder to those affected by the daily violence\, al-Kateab’s camera captures the human cost of life under perpetual conflict more directly and powerfully than perhaps any other film since Five Broken Cameras. To quote Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter\, “The result is a series of deeply powerful images showing the human casualties of a war that most of us witnessed from our TV sets or computer screens.” \n  \nDirector Biography \nWaad Al-Kateab is a documentary filmmaker who became a citizen journalist in 2011\, after protests broke out across Syria against the Assad regime. In 2016\, she began documenting the Syrian conflict in a series of films titled “Inside Aleppo.” These news reports received almost half-a-billion views online\, and won 24 awards\, including the 2016 International Emmy for breaking news coverage. She and her family were eventually evacuated from Aleppo in 2016. For Sama is her first feature film. Edward Watts is an Emmy award-winning\, BAFTA-nominated filmmaker who has directed over 20 narrative and documentary films that illuminate the resilience of the human spirit despite harrowing circumstances. \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/for-sama \nSunday\, June 2\, 2019 – AMC Pacific Place\, 6:30pm \n\n\nMonday\, June 3\, 2019 – SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 4pm

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

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. After writing and directing Rags and Tatters (2013) and Decor (2014)\, both of which showed at SIFF\, EXT. Night (2018) is Abdalla’s fifth feature film. \nSponsored by KING 5 \n  \nShowtimes and locations can be found here: https://www.siff.net/festival/ext-night \nSaturday\, May 25\, 2019\, Lincoln Square\, 8:30pm \nMonday\, May 27\, 2019\, SIFF Cinema Uptown\, 8:00pm \nTuesday\, May 28\, 2019\, AMC Pacific Place\, 4:30pm

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
