queer short film: "beirut dreams in color"
queer short cuts is a biweekly newsletter where i share queer & trans short film recommendations. i'm featuring some of my favorite films on tumblr because why not
youtube
lebanon | 2022 | 28 minutes | documentary short audio in english & arabic; english subtitles available
beirut dreams in color, directed by michael collins, is not a happy film, but it is a beautiful and necessary one. the docu-short follows lebanese indie rock band mashrou’ leila, who have, since their inception, made their politics central to their music. their lead singer, hamed sinno, is heralded as the first openly gay rock star in the arab world, and mashrou’ leila played sold-out shows throughout the swana region (southwest asia & north africa) in the 2010s. the film weaves their story together with the tragic story of sarah hegazi, an egyptian queer activist, and with the story of helem, a lebanese lgbtq+ organization led by tarek zeidan, as their community in beirut faced a disaster in 2020. deepa's full review, including content notes at the end - highly recommend looking at the content notes
hamed sinno is on instagram @hamed.sinno. you can also read more about sarah hegazi’s legacy and the community that grieves her.

Does anyone else worry about Haig Papazian? I hope he's doing okay. I check his social media every now and then, but he hasn't posted for nearly 2 years.

"Romans" by Mashrou Leila Equality. Solidarity. Intersectionality. #charge "The video self-consciously toys with the intersection of gender with race by celebrating and championing a coalition of Arab and Muslim women, styled to over-articulate their ethnic background, in a manner more typically employed by Western media to victimise them. This seeks to disturb the dominant global narrative of hyper-secularised (white) feminism, which increasingly positions itself as incompatible with Islam and the Arab world, celebrating the various modalities of middle-eastern feminism. The video purposefully attempts to revert the position of the (male) musicians as the heroes of the narrative, not only by subjecting them to the (female) gaze of the director, but also by representing them as individuals who (literally) take the backseat as the coalition moves forward. So while the lyrics of the verses discuss betrayal, struggle, and conflict, the video revolves around the lyrical pivot in the chorus: ‘aleihum (charge!) treating oppression, not as a source of victimhood, but as the fertile ground from which resistance can be weaponised."

↳ MUSIC POSTERS : mashrou’ leila
ليه ليهمني اني كون بدل من اني صير؟ كل الاشياء بتعيش لتنتهي بلحن جديد الفرق بين الحرية والخضوع تخيير ��نا لي اخترت. أنا لي قبلت. أنا لي قلت
why would i care to exist instead of becoming? all things live to end as new tunes the difference between freedom and submission is a choice i chose it. i permitted it. i said it.
