SUMMARY:NO OTHER LAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 6\, see No Other Land\, a Norwegian-produced\, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. \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:A WOMAN LOOKS OVER HER SHOULDER
DESCRIPTION:On January 9\, join us for a book talk with Icelandic author Brynja Hjálmsdóttir and ASF Translation Prizewinner Rachel Britton for a discussion on A Woman Looks Over Her Shoulder\, out now from Circumference Press! \nIn A Woman Looks Over Her Shoulder\, one woman lives in a glass ball that is being shaken by someone else. This book of poems\, however\, is always shaking itself up\, leaping between the extreme and the daily\, the gross and the delicious\, between being scared and being scary. These surreal\, visceral\, and somehow polite poems explore what it can be like to be a woman and to slither through and away from threat to find voice and form and power\, no matter how strange. The apocalyptic utopia we arrive at in this book—The Whore’s City—is a perfect model to move to in one’s head: feminist\, funny\, odd\, and a little disgusting\, all towards transformation. \n“A sly\, refreshing\, and vivid book” (Emily Hunt)\n“A strange and compelling book which relentlessly pokes at and pokes fun at the I/thou dynamic of Women and Men in our culture” (Matthew Rohrer) \nRegister

SUMMARY:ARMAND
DESCRIPTION:On January 9\, see a special screening of Armand (Norway\, 2024)\, Norway’s official selection for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards! \nElisabeth (Renate Reinsve) arrives at a parent-teacher meeting called on short notice. Her six-year-old son Armand has been accused of something — but that “something” seems unclear. As the principal\, the school nurse\, and another pair of parents become involved\, it’s revealed that a boundary has been crossed between Armand and his best friend. And as they disagree on how to handle it\, the school begins to lose control. A powerful and thought-provoking drama about the complexities of alleged sexual harassment between children\, Armand has been acclaimed as a “vivid\, creepy\, and uncomfortably funny debut” (IndieWire). \n“Resonant and haunting — and should spark plenty of post-screening discussions” (Jonathan Romney\, Screen Daily) \n\nPurchase Tickets
