SAVING FACE (2004) dir. Alice Wu
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE — 2013, dir. Francis Lawrence CATCHING FIRE — Chapter XXIV
His love for Gaza shone through in his photographs, seen in his steadfast portrayals of joy and beauty. Whimsical compositions by the sea depict young boys jumping and playing. In a series of works focused on his grandmother, a survivor of the 1948 Nakba who was displaced from her native village of Isdud, Arandas portrays her as a symbol of strength and perseverance in Gaza, zooming in on her weathered hands harvesting olives against deep fertile earth. Traces of personal and cultural histories can be seen in the crisp light of ripe olives and the details of intricate embroidery adorning her hanging dress.
“Where can I begin talking about Gaza and Palestine, and how can I begin when I know that I am the living dead? Everyone who writes about Palestine has prepared himself to be among the dead, but despite our prior knowledge of our fate when we write and write about this land, we do not stop or for a moment hesitate to inhale her love,” he reflected.
Remembering Gaza Photographer Majd Arandas, Killed by Israeli Airstrikes
FILMS IN 2023: → Notting Hill (1999) — dir. roger michell
I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.
And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)
I don’t want to slow down for you. For anyone. That’s why I can’t be with someone who doesn’t know my language. I know you’re learning ASL. And it’s so endearing and often hilarious. But I can’t share everything I’m feeling in a way you’ll understand. I want you to know me, to really know my heart and soul, and have you understand my most silly, convoluted thoughts. My feelings. Because without that, you’ll never really know me. Yes, I feel everything that’s there between us. But I also feel the empty spaces. And I don’t want to live in an empty space. I don’t want to fall in love in an empty space.
New Amsterdam didn’t take my father away from me. This hospital gave me my father. Showed me who he was. Who I could be. And that’s the day I realized I wanted to be just like him, the day I knew I wanted to be a doctor. So, I wanted to start by asking all of you the same thing my father asked his staff every hour of every single day: how can I help?
it has been genuinely devastating to see major governments, global news outlets and ignorant celebrities spreading a narrative that supports and upholds a regime responsible for the genocide of thousands of innocent lives. palestinians have been suffering for decades and nobody has cared; nobody has offered them the empathy that is now being so generously handed to a military force that is brutally murdering and displacing the palestinian people. 2.2 million people in gaza have had their electricity, food, water and fuel cut off. we are witnessing firsthand the utter annihilation of a population — dehumanising media coverage, blatant islamophobic propaganda, hundreds of children massacred — please understand that taking a "neutral" stance is siding with the oppressor. free palestine today, tomorrow, forever. from the river to the sea 🇵🇸
