SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On October 14\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. *A film talk and Q&A follows the screening with co-directors Basel Adra\, Yuval Abraham\, and Rachel Szor.* \nBasel Adra\, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by 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 carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham\, a young Israeli journalist\, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine\, 2024). \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:HANDLING THE UNDEAD
DESCRIPTION:On October 16\, join us for a screening of the Norwegian zombie thriller Handling the Undead\, a “meditative\, mind-shattering experience that gets under your skin” (Fort Worth Report) adapted from the 2005 novel by Let the Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. \nOn a hot summer day in Oslo\, the dead mysteriously awaken\, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they\, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families\, a story about grief and loss\, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control. \n“Handling the Undead … eschews any of the practical questions\, but with a more humanist intent: to lean single-mindedly into its characters’ emotions — and also its eerie mythical resonance” (Alissa Wilkinson\, New York Times) \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:MY HOOD: SOUTHSIDE
DESCRIPTION:On October 25th\, join us for a special screening of the documentary My Hood: Southside (Mana rajons: Pietinis; dir. Julija Juknaitė\, Lithuania\, 2024)\, followed by an informal discussion with the film crew! The event will also feature a special appearance by members of Colours of Bubbles\, a cinematographic rock band\, who will introduce their music and share their personal connections to Pietinis\, a southside neighborhood of the biggest town in Northern Lithuania. \nOnce considered a “wild” neighborhood\, Pietinis has recently experienced a cultural awakening\, partly inspired by Rimantas Kmita’s celebrated novel Pietinia Kronikas (Southside Chronicles). For the first time\, the people of Šiauliai are embracing their unique identity\, with newfound pride in their roots\, contributing to what is now being called the “Šiauliai phenomenon.” My Hood: Southside\, an engaging and vibrant documentary by J. Juknaitė\, offers a unique perspective on the now-renowned residential district of Šiauliai. As a native of Pietinis\, the director explores the neighborhood’s identity through its history\, architecture\, archival footage\, and people. The film draws attention to an important issue—the legacy of Soviet-era residential areas and the pressing need for revitalization. This grassroots initiative\, led by residents and creators\, opens broader discussions about the neighborhood’s future. \nRegister
