Maybe it will sound bad but i want epic the musical to conclude. Stretching the story will ruin it and it's been this way.

Idk as a Greek myself I want all this mid projects to end because they don't have greek representation in them.

I’m not really into the musical, I’ve heard some bits and thought it was good, Disco Queen Hera is a really fun idea. But I am getting tired of Trojan war era stories, I want ppl to look into other eras as well. Though I do understand the frustration of non Greek artists adapting from Greek culture without actually caring about Greek representation, I’m Arab I know how it feels, ppl have been doing this with Sindibad for centuries.

الحال غريب أغرب من ما مضى

الشعب مريض ومالهوش حدا

بمد إيد للغريب على أمل المدد

مع إن الغريب هو أصل البلا

الحال تعيس أتعس من ما مضى

إنقلبت موازين والظالم إرتقى

بس في سؤال بسيط وعظيم ياترى

إسأل نفسك ياعميق ياترى من أنا ؟ .

Shabjdeed and Al Nather - Sindibad el Ward

This album is a fucking uncovered gem oh my God. Al Nather does an amazing job integrating Arabic musical theory into trap beats and they both do an amazing job rapping and singing on this record. Genuinely such a good record that it pains me Americans don’t know about. Also Viva Palestine. Fuck the Apartheid state of Israel. Critical support against imperialism and colonialism. So listen to this record and support some amazing musicians living in a prison state. Just trying to make beautiful art.

Sessão Mutual Films: A ausência na presença: Filmes de Michel Khleifi e Avi Mograbi [Mutual Films Session: The Absence in Presence: Films by Michel Khleifi and Avi Mograbi]

September 11th: The link above leads to Portuguese-language information about the 25th edition of the Mutual Films Session, co-curated and organized by me and Mariana Shellard, whose screenings will take place between September 11th and 25th at the São Paulo-based unit of the Instituto Moreira Salles.

The event proposes a dialogue between films by two contemporary great artists of world cinema. The foundational Palestinian filmmaker Michel Khleifi (born in 1950) will be represented with his first two films, the feature-length documentary Fertile Memory and the poetic medium-length work Ma’loul Celebrates Its Destruction. The instigating Israeli artist and activist Avi Mograbi (born in 1956) will be represented by the feature-length documentary Once I Entered a Garden and the short film Wait, It’s the Soldiers, I’ll Hang Up Now (co-starring himself and George Khleifi, who is Michel’s older brother and the production coordinator on many of his films).

The two filmmakers have shared programming space before, perhaps most notably within the context of the 2019 edition of the One World Romania Festival, which honored them with simultaneous retrospectives. The particular configuration of their works on this occasion was inspired initially by the screenings of the recently restored versions of Khleifi’s films realized through this year’s edition of the New York-based festival Prismatic Ground and partly by Avi Mograbi himself, who suggested Once I Entered a Garden to us when we asked him which could be the most adequate of his features to screen alongside Fertile Memory.

The film screenings will additionally include the presences of two guests. The American film programmer and scholar Richard Peña (formerly of Columbia University and The Film Society of Lincoln Center, and currently a guest lecturer at several Brazilian universities) is a longstanding proponent of studies involving Arab-language cinema and will participate in a public conversation following the September 11th screening of Wait, It’s the Soldiers… and Fertile Memory. The Israeli poet and translator Tal Nitzán (who will travel to Brazil in late September as a guest of the Festival Artes Vertentes) is a longtime advocate for peace and solidarity between Israelis and Palestinians and will give a reading of works from her poetry collection Atlantis prior to the September 25th screening of Ma’loul and Once I Entered a Garden. (Both Atlantis and Nitzán’s novel Each and Every Child have been released in Brazilian Portuguese-language editions by the publisher Ars et Vita.)

Two new Portuguese-language translations of texts relevant to the films appear on the Mutual Films website. The first translation is of Michel Khleifi’s wonderful personal essay “From Reality to Fiction – From Poverty to Expression”, which originally appeared in 1997 in El País and which was then republished in 2019 in a beautiful bilingual (English-French) book about Khleifi’s work thanks to the Courtisane Festival, the Royal Cinémathèque of Belgium, and the production company Sindibad Films Ltd. (More pieces from the volume can be conferred here.)

The second translation is of a profile of Avi Mograbi written in 2013 by the French-language journalist Joachim Barbier for the publication Sofilm on the occasion of Once I Entered a Garden’s theatrical release in France. Brazilian readers are fortunate to have already had access to multiple texts about Mograbi in Brazilian Portuguese thanks to the catalogue of the 2014 edition of the Brazilian festival forumdoc.bh, whose programmers Carla Italiano and Cláudia Mesquita organized a retrospective of Mograbi’s films with the director in attendance.

Much of what has been said up to now about the series has been about collaboration, and very little about current broader news events. In part, this is because of how the films themselves present the issues of 1948, 1967, 1980, 2002, 2012, and 2024 as possessing much overlap, including the world’s eternal needs for kindness and fellow feeling.

Imane, hello! I hope you're having a wonderful day! My friend and I are coming to Brussels for two days and we were wondering if you have fav spots you could recommend - it could be anything from museums and parks to just your fav neighbourhood <3

omg hi sorry i completely forgot to reply to your message i hope you're still planning on coming and I'm not too late

my fave food spots:

brol coffee house

bark boy

gaston (it's an ice cream shop but they have delicious liège waffles)

sindibad (best shawarma)

caffe batavia

black & white burgers

for pasta: primo, sina pasta, basils liberté

for pizza: basils, la piola pizza

fanny thai

royal indian taste

museums, walks and parks:

galeries royales saint-hubert

musée magritte

musée des instruments de music (music instrument museum?)

mont des arts

colonne du congrès

horta museum (art nouveau)

sablon

egmont palace

place polaert

some interesting food courts

wolf

gare maritime

i'd say the most pleasant walk you can do is walk from grand place to mont des arts and then to the museum of royal arts and continue on that street until place polaert to watch the sunset! on the way there you can have a look at sablon and egmont palace. idk when you are coming but the Christmas market starts on the 24th of November! the prettiest things to see are the light shows in grande place and sainte Catherine but if you want to know where the good food is, it's on place de brouckère (you need to find the west African food stall if your schedule allows!!)

There's another thing that annoy me besides the kraken thing that people think it's from greek mythology because of clash of the titans.

It's the fact that people think that the titans are gigantic, very big beings, like we see in disney hercules and the god of war games.

In reality, they aren't gigantic, they never were, because people confuse them with the gigantes, which are definitely gigantic.

Yeah, tho I like the idea that Titans were huge, and that gods can also be really big it’s just that they use their smaller forms to interact with mortals, y’know that Dreamworks Sindibad movie were Eris is in her human size when manipulating Sindibad so he’d have his guard down but then was super gigantic when she was angry at him? Basically like that.

Little girl´s favourite man

When I was ten, I saw the Peter Pan movie (2003). And I loved that movie. And when bunch of girls were drooling all over blonde cheeky Peter Pan´s pics in magazines I was the quiet child in the corner. And do you know what? My favourite character was there only once and none of the girls said anything good or at least interesting about him. And do you know who catch my eye on the silver screen?

Aeyh. Captain James Hook. I didn´t care he´s villain and that he wants to kill Peter. He was adult and he treat Peter as an equal and he threatened him as one too. Yes, he was mocking him and aiming for his weak spots, but he would do the same with any adult. On the other hand he don´t ignore Peter as an annoying child who just need to be locked in his room. He was maybe the only one adult I saw accepting child and his oppinions as valuable.

And I was really shocked when I found some time later that there is another character being played by the same actor!

Indeed. Wendy´s father Mr. George Darling. I was trying to find out why it´s the same actor and somewhere on the internet I found that every litle girl want to marry her father. And it starts bugging me. 

And it starts disturbing me... A LOT. Because It´s wrong, isn´t it? I decided to leave that fandom and never think about it again...

And then that guy come.

And I despise him. From my very soul. He was evil. He tried to kill Harry. He was mean at Hermione. He endanger Ginny and the whole school. And do you know what else? He´s villain and he scared me. Something was so off when it came t him. Something fishy. And do you know what was that? He´s BLONDE.

And it was really shocking when I was told he´s played by the same actor as my Hook too! (Jason Isaac btw)

I guess you already found out how my father looks like, don´t you?

And you are right.

Yeah. That´s me and my dad chilling on the beach. 

And do you remember me saying something about who girls wants to marry?

Science says it is because our parents acts as our role models. And we seek in our partners the same or direct opposite atributes. And after that, I decided to make a little research. 

Who else is my favourite character?

Pirate... Ehm I wanted to say Will Turner.

Zoro.

Jackpot! Two in one. 

Too late. Dwayne Johnson looks good everywhere.

But let´s make it real.... I have spot for animated characters too!

Why the blond one, Pocahontas? Why?!? Kocoum is better!

Jim Hawkins. My first crush. Seriously. The one I recognized and felt.

And do you see that other guy? He is from Sindibad too. And I had never known where to look when he was on the screen!

I think it´s clear now, isn´t it? I have think for dark-type guys. The bigger the better. At least tanned skin is important too. The more heartili - dreaming happili. 

And my dad was exactly like that. HUGE guy with hands so HUGE I could manage to hold just his pinkie with HUGE smile on his face. Well, for 7 yo is 2 meters high guy like a giant, isn´t he?

But he was the best giant ever.

So let me tell something. If I will be able to marry somebody half as georgeous as my dad... I would be happy ever after!
