10/02 Insurgent Transmissions: A World Not Ours by Mehdi Fleifel
Presented by Mizna, Insurgent Transmissions is a film series highlighting the varied Palestinian experience. Made by contemporary Palestinian makers, the films depict the many ways that Palestinians resist occupation in their daily lives and filmmaking practices. Beginning with Annemarie Jacir’s touching family drama, Wajib, the programming will unfold as a series of transmissions: Jacir chooses the second film, and each subsequent filmmaker will select the next film in the series. The films in Insurgent Transmissions highlight the works of contemporary Palestinian filmmakers, amplifying their voices through their films and the films they see as most urgent in this moment of cultural erasure and genocide. Ticket fees support the featured Palestinian filmmakers. Online tickets are $10, and in-person tickets are on a sliding scale of $5–15. Additional fundraising opportunities will be available at the screening to support urgent grassroots fundraisers in Gaza.
ABOUT THE FILM
A World Not Ours is an intimate and humorous portrait of three generations of exiles living in the Ain el-Helweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a sensitive and illuminating study of belonging, friendship, and family. Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than just a family portrait; it is an attempt to record what is being forgotten, and mark what should not be erased from collective memory.
