SUMMARY:Den gamle nye Levanten: Film + samtale
DESCRIPTION:As part of HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival\, this event presents a program of short films curated by Masahat\, followed by a panel discussion with Nadim Khoury\, Rana Issa\, and Zeina Bali. \nIn recent months\, the Levant has witnessed dramatic upheavals: an ongoing genocide in Gaza\, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank\, Israel’s war on Lebanon and the assassination of the Hezbollah leadership\, and the fall of Assad’s 54-year rule in Syria. At the same time\, we keep hearing about Netanyahu and Trump’s plans to redraw the map of the Middle East. \nBut how has this map evolved over the past half century? \nThrough film screenings and conversation\, we take a historical look at the spirals of violence\, wars\, and militarization that have shaped Levantine society for more than 50 years. With a post-nationalist perspective\, we want to shed light on the regional lines that have characterized the small nations of the Levant. \n\nRead more & buy tickets\n \n  \n\nShort film program\n  \nSwords Take Me \nIn one of his poems\, poet Mohsen al Ha’eri\, speaking in the voice of Imam Hussein (the son of Imam Ali and\, after his father\, the second of the twelve Shi’a Imams) prior to his martyrdom in the battle of Karbala\, says: “If the religion of Mohamed shall not prevail but through my killing/ Then O swords take me”. This video attempts to look at the mythological and metaphysical aspects of Lebanon’s July 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. \n2012\, 30 minutes\, arabic speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Marwan Hamdan. \n  \nStep by Step\nStep by Step is a reflection of the foundations of Syrian society under Assad rule. Ten years before filmmaker Ossama Mohammed received international recognition with Stars in Broad Daylight (1988) and 36 years before his award winning film Silvered Water – Syria Self Portrait 2014)\, he captured the dire state of Syria in this short documentary.Through the film’s experimental style\, a harsh reality emerges closer to the surface. The apparently harmonious countryside turns out to be choking and violent. The effects of this are clearly demonstrated as a soldier talks about his childhood\, in between the impressions of village life. Freedom and innocence have made way for a disturbing\, fanatical loyalty to the state. Is this a reflection of the foundations of Syrian society under Assad’s rule? \n1979\, 24 minutes\, arabic speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Ossama Mohammad. \n  \nDetail 4 \nInauguration of the Meir Kahana bible school in Tapu’ah\, one of the most extreme Jewish settelements in the occupied territories. \n2004\, 5 minutes\, hebrew speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Avi Mograbi. \n  \nInterview with Ghassan Kanafani \nPopular Front for the Liberation of Palestine spokesman Ghassan Kanafani interviewed by Richard Carleton\, Beirut 1970. \n1970\, 7 minutes\,\nDirector: Unknown. \nAbout the directors\nMarwan Hamdan is a Lebanese filmmaker and artist whose works explore Beirut’s political and social modern history\, with a particular focus on religion\, mythology\, belief and systems of power.
