SUMMARY:Vigil for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:We are approaching one year of a perpetrated genocide in Gaza with no immediate ceasefire in sight and with mounting threats that a regional war would break out. We are angry and resentful of our impotent politicians and institutions who have so far not stopped the sale of arms to the Zionist entity or took any concrete measure to divest from the Israeli settler regime\, which we view as complicity with genocide and with any escalations into a regional war taking place. We invite activists and Palestine supporters to join us in a nightly vigil to grieve our Palestinian martyrs\, the incarceration and torture of Palestinian children\, women and men\, and the massive destruction and erasure of Palestinian lives\, ecologies and culture. This protest vigil is for us to share our anger and grief in front of the Parliament. This vigil will showcase solidarity with Palestine through artistic commissioned works by Norwegian\, Arab and Palestinian cultural practitioners. \nProgram\n\nOpening address: Kari Veiteberg\, Bishop of Oslo\nPolitical address: Line Khateeb\, Leder av Palestina Komitee\nMoment of Silence\nScreening on Stortingets wall of Videos for Palestine by Video Tract for Palestine\nCollective\, Mira Adoumie\, Islam Shabana\nPoetry Readings by Bendik Vada\, Ninthu Paramalingam\, Mahmud Beshtawy\nCarnivalesque Performance “Songs of Anemone” by Farah Azrak.\n\n  \nThis vigil is a collaboration between Palkom\, Aksjonsgruppa for Palestina and Masahat. The artistic program is made possible through a generous grant from KORO.

SUMMARY:Masahat screens
DESCRIPTION:Masahat Screens 2024 will present films from the Arab world that explore themes of protest\, life under occupation and the struggles of life in exile curated by Mira Adoumier\, and a second part with films from Sudan curated by Khalid Albaih. \nThe program consists of three parts: \n\nkl. 14:45 Mahdi Fleifel short films – Life in Exile | Tickets\nkl. 16:45 Five Broken Cameras | Tickets\nkl. 18:45 Masahat: Films from Sudan | Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPART I\n14:45 PART I (total 1hr 29 mins): is a selection of four short films by the award-winning Danish-Palestinian filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel \n\n\n\n20 Handshakes For Peace (2015\, 5 min)\nA Man Returned (2017\, 30 min)\n3 Logical Exists (2020\, 14 min)\nI Signed the Petition (2018\, 10 min).\n\n\n\nThe short films will be followed by Some Strings\, a selection of videos by filmmakers and artists from around the world\, each contributing with a cinematic gesture in honor of the late poet and teacher Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I must Die”. \nPART II\n\n16:45 PART II (total 1 hr 30 mins) \n\n\nThe Palestinian farmer Emad buys his first camera in 2005\, when his fourth son is born. The family lives in the village of Bil’in\, where over the years Israeli settlements occupy larger and larger parts of the land. The camera captures the son’s upbringing\, surrounded by bulldozers\, soldiers and ever-higher walls. \n5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal film about citizens questioning non-violent ideals in the struggle against an oppressive regime. Through Emad’s camera lens\, we follow the family and the village’s demonstrations over five dramatic years. \nThis screening is presented by Masahat in collaboration with Oslo Dokumentarkino. \nPART III \n\n\nCurated by Khalid Albaih\, the second part of the program presents a powerful collection of films that speak to resilience\, defiance\, and the enduring human spirit. \nThe program will feature a selection of four short documentaries: Journey to Kenya by Ibrahim Snoopy (2020\, 29 min)\, Brick of Life by Razan Mohamed (2022\, 12 min)\, Nas Shagala by Klozium Studios (2013\, 16 min) and The Art of Sin by Ibrahim Mursal (2017\, 45 min). These documentaries offer intimate\, poignant glimpses into the lived experiences of Sudanese individuals\, exploring themes of displacement\, exile\, and personal and collective struggles under oppressive regimes that led to the devastating two-year war in Sudan. The screenings will be followed by a Q&A between the filmmaker and curator Khalid Albaih and Ibrahim Mursal.

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. Filmography: “News from Rmeileh (2018)\, “Offside” (2015)\, “On Earth As It Is In Heaven” (2014)\, “Separation Anxiety” (2013)\, “O Swords Take Me” (2012). \nOssama Mohammad is a Syrian filmmaker\, screenwriter and lecturer. His fiction and documentary films “Silvered Water” (2014)\, “Sunduq al Dunya” (2002) and “Nujoom Al Nahar” (1988) have all been selected for the Cannes Film Festival. His films have been banned in Syria\, but have received critical acclaim and several awards internationally. In 2015\, he received the Prince Claus Award. Ossama currently lives in exile in Paris. \nAvi Mograbi is an Israeli filmmaker and video artist\, born in 1956 in Tel Aviv\, where he lives and works to this day. Mograbi is one of Israel’s most acclaimed filmmakers\, and is best known for his unwavering commitment to social\, cultural and political justice in the Middle East\, as well as his experimental and innovative cinematic language. Mograbi’s documentaries have been programmed by festivals around the world\, including Cannes\, Berlin\, Venice\, Rome\, New York\, FID Marseille\, Vision du Reel and San Francisco\, among others. \nThe final filmmaker is unknown\, but here is a little about the journalist who interviews in “Ghassan Kanafani”: Richard George Carleton (July 11\, 1943 – May 7\, 2006) was an Australian television journalist\, who eventually produced films abroad\, such as in Indonesia (he was the only journalist allowed to visit the newly “integrated” East Timor) and in the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Collaborating with Gazan Artists today
DESCRIPTION:Kunstnernes Hus — September 18\, 10:00–12:00 \n  \nThe genocide in Gaza has devastated every aspect of Palestinian life. No one in Gaza is safe\, and no one who has witnessed this crime will ever forget it. In the gap between those who witness and those who endure the violence directly\, urgent questions arise: How do we speak about Gaza? How do we act in solidarity with its people? \n  \nIn Norway\, Palestinian artists have been especially attentive to these questions—reflecting on how our artistic and cultural expressions often fall short of conveying the Gazan experience of genocide. The panel we have invited consists entirely of artists who have redirected their practice and resources to stand with colleagues and friends in Gaza. Their goal is clear: to ensure that Gazan artists break through the siege and mass killing\, and speak in their own voices despite ongoing attempts to silence them. \n  \nThis conversation asks: What does it mean to collaborate with artists in Gaza today? What does it mean to make art during a genocide? And how does the extermination of Palestinians compel us to rethink our artistic tools\, languages\, and practices? \n  \nPanelists\n  \nMotaz Al Habbash\n A Palestinian artist\, producer\, and curator residing in Norway. He primarily works with video and runs the mentoring program Here and There and the art and culture platform It is hard to be Arab. His current film project The Donkey of October 7th—in collaboration with Mustafa Nabieh—focuses on the situation of donkeys in Gaza. His work includes the installation Stolen Well (Qattan Foundation\, Ramallah\, 2024) and the seven-hour live program with Gazan artists Gaza (a)live (2016). \n  \nCarmel Alabbasi\n A Palestinian visual artist whose practice spans video\, sound\, writing\, sculpture\, and installation. With a background in journalism and social anthropology\, and an MFA from KHIO (Oslo)\, Carmel’s work explores absence and disappearance\, confronting colonial and patriarchal erasures of people\, spaces\, and identities. \n  \nDahaleez Collective \n A research art collective founded in Gaza in 2021 by artists and researchers Khaled Jarada\, Rahaf Batniji\, Salman Nawati\, Majdal Nateel\, Carmel Al-Abbasi\, Mahmoud Abu Wardeh\, and Mahmoud Al-Shaer. Originating with the project Geography of Divine Magic at Beit Al-Ghussein Cultural and Heritage House\, the collective examines Palestinians’ temporal and spatial realities under siege. Dahaleez develops collaborative and analytical tools to envision liberation and reconstruction of Palestine. \n  \nAyman Azraq\n A filmmaker\, photographer\, and mixed-media artist. His short film The Passport has screened at the National Museum of Cinema (Turin)\, Cologne International VideoArt Festival\, and elsewhere. His work includes Oslo Syndrome (Autumn Exhibition\, Oslo; Dubai International Film Festival; London Palestinian Film Festival)\, the collaborative installation WALL-1\, and the documentary Into My Lungs (Kunstnernes Hus\, 2022). His mixed-media installation The Lost Tapes of a People’s Tribunal 1982 was exhibited at Fotogalleriet (2023/24). In 2023\, he launched the Artist to Artist Project\, a digital residency supporting Gazan artists\, culminating in the exhibition For You at Tenthaus and Podium. He has also exhibited at Nitja Center for Contemporary Art and Rogaland Kunstsenter. \n  \nDrew Snyder (Moderator)\n An art historian and curator based in Oslo. He is Senior Curator at Public Art Norway – KORO\, where his work includes major public art projects at the Government Quarter and Museum of the Viking Age. He is also engaged in discursive initiatives such as investigations of public art in the context of Truth and Reconciliation in Norway and Sápmi\, and the Oslo-based Artist to Artist residency program facilitating dialogue with Gazan artists. Snyder holds a PhD in art history\, theory\, and criticism from the University of California\, San Diego.\n Photo credit: Svein Erik Tøien \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Frida Marida Show  x  Dragon Blood by Only Slime
DESCRIPTION:Practical Information\n📍 Venue: Det Norske Teatret📅 Date: September 20\, 2025 \n🕔 Program: \n\n\n16:30 → Dragon Blood by Only Slime \n\n\n19:00 → The Frida Marida Show (duration: 1.5 hours) \n\n\n🌍 Language: English🎟️ One ticket gives you access to both performances. \nThis performance is for Adults only \n\n\nA Night of Fantasy\, Music & Radical Hospitality\n  \nMasahat\, in collaboration with Ultima\, Det Norske Teatret\, Karmaklubb and Only Slime\, proudly presents The Frida Marida Show. \nWith support from Masahat and as part of the RAWABET project\, Frida transforms a car steering wheel into a drum\, tracing her personal journey — from a young man in Lebanon dreaming of music\, to a woman\, singer\, and songwriter in Oslo. Life’s unexpected turns echo in rhythm and sound. \nThe evening opens with Dragon Blood by Only Slime\, unfolding inside an immersive dinner-style installation: chandeliers\, tables instead of rows\, and performers moving among the audience. Everyone becomes part of the artwork. Guests are encouraged to wear imaginative\, fantasy-inspired costumes. \nAt 19:00\, Frida takes the stage with five musicians\, two dancers\, and a set of out-of-the-box concepts. She embraces Masahat’s 2025 theme of hospitality by singing in eight languages — inviting audiences into a shared cultural space across borders. \nThe night culminates with the launch of Frida Marida’s groundbreaking music video Fri Da Nipple — where six electronic boob-triggers become live instruments. Sound\, body\, and technology merge in a drag performance that redefines both music and art. \n \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Rawabet — a collective initiative led by Ettijahat – Independent Culture and implemented in partnership with GEZMATAZ\, VOCE\, coculture\, Masahat\, and Transversal Project.  \nRawabet is supported by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the Creative Europe programme.

Rania Stephan\n– The Other Side of Beauty (2024\, 11 mins) | Morocco\, Sudan | dir. Sami Saif Sirelkhatim\n– Gaza Artists (2024\, 16 mins) – | Palestine | dir. Mustafa al-Nabih\n\nFollowing the screenings\, there will be a discussion with Syrian author Samar Yazbek. \nAbout the films\nIn Fields of Words (2022\, 70 mins) | Lebanon | dir. Rania Stephan \nA filmic dialogue between Syrian writer-in-exile Samar Yazbek and Lebanese filmmaker Rania Stephan\, asking what role cinema and literature can play in the face of war\, death\, and violence. Shot between 2013 and 2019\, the film documents the course of the Syrian revolution and civil war while exploring the question: “Can literature and cinema capture this tragedy?” Combining image\, sound\, and Yazbek’s words\, Stephan creates a poetic and political testimony of our time. Winner of the Best Film Award at the 2022 Villa Medici Film Festival. \n \nThe Other Side of Beauty (2024\, 11 mins) | Morocco\, Sudan | dir. Sami Saif SirelkhatimThe story of a Sudanese photographer who finds beauty in his homeland’s stars and landscapes\, while also facing the violence of war and genocide in Darfur. His images reveal truth to the world\, but at great personal cost—through imprisonment\, torture\, and repression. \nGaza Artists (2024\, 16 mins) – | Palestine | dir. Mustafa al-Nabih \nA short documentary produced by Arji foundation\, written and directed by Mustafa Al-Nabih. It offers a window into the lives of Palestinian artists in the Gaza Strip\, amid ongoing displacement and the difficult conditions they endure. The film takes us on a journey with three artists from different generations\, all of whom were displaced from Gaza and now live in the city of Rafah in the south of the Strip. We follow their daily lives\, struggles\, and the impact of continuous displacement on their creativity and personal lives\, through genuine human moments\, aside from the usual images of destruction. It seeks to reveal the human side of those who continue to live\, dream\, and create despite all that has been lost. This film is a cry to the world: Gaza is being annihilated\, but we love life\, and we resist with love and art. Every moment here bears the imprint of war; every smile is a victory. \n\nPart Two: Sudanese Evening: Food\, Music & Stories\nAfter films and discussion\, the festival continues with a Sudanese Evening at VEGA.\n✨ Tasting menu of iconic Sudanese dishes by chef Mohammed Mustafa.✨ Solo concert by young Sudanese-Norwegian talent Yasir Moa\, a songwriter and storyteller blending classical tunes with rhythmic\, danceable sounds. \nThis evening is curated in collaboration with Khalid Albaih and Naoures Rouissi.

SUMMARY:My Father and Qaddafi\, film + talk with Hajer Sharief
DESCRIPTION:My Father and Qaddafi بابا والقذافي \nUSA\, Libya I 2025 I 88 minutes I Language: English\, Arabic\, French I Subtitles: English I Age limit: 15 I Director: Jihan \nWe are glad to partner with HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival on the screening of My Father and Qaddafi followed by a conversation with with Hajer Sharief on Friday 6th of March kl. 20.00 at VEGA Scene. Zeina Bali\, Managind Director of Masahat will lead the talk. \nAbout the film: \nA daughter’s search for her missing father\, Mansur Kikhia\, former foreign minister and UN ambassador in Qaddafi’s Libya. \nThe filmmaker\, Jihan\, was only 6 years when her father suddenly disappeared from a human rights conference in Cairo in 1993. Her mother\, a strong character in the film\, buys a video camera for the family after the father’s disappearance. \nThrough home videos and other archival material\, the director reflects back on who her father was\, and travels to find answers among her father’s relatives and friends\, who remind us of the backdrop of his disappearance; the brutal regime of Qaddafi and Libya’s history as a colony. \nA brilliant and captivating documentary about a daughter’s personal longing for her father as much as the histories and politics of the collective struggles of the Libyan people longing for their freedom.
