SUMMARY:Free Film Screening: Israelism
DESCRIPTION:Two young American Jews travel to Israel seeking a deeper understanding of the country they were raised to love. What they encounter profoundly impacts them\, leading them to join a growing movement to redefine their community’s relationship with Israel in this challenging and emotional journey. Join us for the free screening of this film. \nAbout the film\nTwo young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel‘s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes\, they are horrified and heartbroken.\nThey join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism\, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children. \nThe film also features voices like Jacqui\, a Jewish educator who says “Judaism is Israel and Israel is Judaism”\, and former Anti-Defamation League President Abe Foxman\, who claims voices like Simone and Eitan’s represent a small minority. Thought leaders like Peter Beinart\, Jeremy Ben-Ami\, Noura Erakat\, Cornel West\, and Noam Chomsky also weigh in. \nDirected by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the film’s protagonists\, Israelism is produced by Peabody-winner and 4-time Emmy-nominee Daniel J. Chalfen (Loudmouth\, Boycott)\, executive produced by two-time Emmy-winner Brian A. Kates (Marvelous Ms. Maisel\, Succession) and edited by Emmy-winner Tony Hale (The Story of Plastic)\, Israelism uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically\, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.

SUMMARY:Movie: From Ground Zero
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:Movie: The Encampments
DESCRIPTION:THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza\, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today. \nFilmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding\, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors\, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations\, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today. \n“What makes THE ENCAMPMENTS artistically triumphant is its sense of contemporary and historical detail\, owed to both footage shot by the filmmakers\, as well as by the protesters themselves. In the process\, co-directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T. Workman craft a work of cinema that’s as rigorously journalistic in its arguments as it is nakedly sentimental.” – IndieWire \n“This is more than a student protest—it’s a generational struggle for justice. Students have always led the charge for justice\, from the sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement to the campus protests against South African apartheid. The encampments that started at Columbia are part of that legacy\, inspiring millions of people around the world. The film ensures the students in US and Gaza are heard\, their actions are remembered\, and the fight for Palestinian liberation continues.” – Macklemore \n“Khalil remains detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana amid a legal battle to prevent his deportation from the U.S. after the Trump administration ordered his removal… The legal challenge to Khalil might ultimately come down to the Supreme Court\, which would decide how far the secretary of state can determine whether a permanent resident can be removed for speech.” – Axios

SUMMARY:Meaningful Movies on Vashon: Lyd
DESCRIPTION:LYD (the Arabic name of Lod\, a city now in Israel) is about a 5\,000-year-old bustling Palestinian town that was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948\, and the film LYD is the story of that city’s rise and fall. An exploration of what it once was\, and what it is now\, in the context of the continuing conflicts and the war in Gaza\, LYD’s excavation of one community’s complex history offers us not only lessons but possible futures. \nAs the film unfolds\, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion\, while vivid animations envision an alternate reality where the same characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. \nUsing never-before-seen archival footage of the 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 what future should prevail. \nMade by a Palestinian from Lyd and a Jewish American\, LYD provides much-needed context for this moment\, as it goes deep into the history of the Nakba from the perspective of Palestinians who survived. The film imagines an alternate reality where Palestine was never occupied and Palestinians of all religions (Muslims\, Christians\, and Jews) live in a liberated Palestine. Narrated by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi who personifies the city\, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. \n“A harrowing watch\, but a vital one if the goal is gaining a greater understanding of the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
