MAY 4: MALAS' THE DREAM + SALLOUM + SABA +
In collaboration with black hole cinematheque and from the river to the sea collective, we present an evening of films in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle for liberation. Curated and introduced by our righteous East Bay ally Tooth, tonight's program is built around Mohammad Malas' 1987 film, The Dream (Al-Manam), which centers around interviews with Palestinians living in forced exile among the refugee camps of Lebanon in the early years of the civil war and just prior to the massacres of Sabra and Shatila. The film uniquely focuses on the role that dreams play in the daily existence and struggles of the inhabitants of the camps. The first half of the night's program-- featuring Jayce Salloum's 2003 film untitled part 3b: (as if) beauty never ends, and Mary Jirmanus Saba's brand new film Mahdi Amel: The Colonial Mode of Production--hopes to resonate further on Al-Manam's dialectical relationship between the multivalent concept of dreams (both as oneiric visions and ideological ambitions) and the lived realities of those subjected to the generational and ongoing trauma of displacement, war, genocide, and cultural erasure, and their steadfast resistance in the face of it all. Benefit for Palestine Children's Relief Fund, $10-100.

OtherZine Issue #33
“PINK VS. ORANGE”
This issue #33 of OTHERZINE incorporates the DNA of another San Francisco Bay-born radical publication, Bad Subjects. This is its issue #92 too, settled in to occupy some of Other Cinema’s comfy seats here until its own website undergoes reconstruction. We hold hands as the movie unspools.Viva Pink, standing up against Orange! In the January 2017 Women’s March, Pink Pussy hats asserted female leadership and activism. The 2016 Presidential campaign of pinko (OK, socialist Democrat) Bernie Sanders excited and involved many voters, especially millennials. President Donald Trump, his hair and skin alternating between various shades of orange/lemon yellow/yogurt pink, has galvanized American and global opposition to his policies, his insults, his general demeanor. And as “Orange is the New Black” reminded us, incarceration is always a risk for the disobedient and, perhaps, dissident.
