Summer 2006, Palestine
September 15 - May 31, 2008
Palestine, 2006, 35 min, 2006, Beta SP PAL/NTSC and DVD PAL/NTSC
In Arabic with English subtitles
Both established as well as new Palestinian filmmakers came together in a project that reflects the “mood” of the summer of 2006 when Israel carried out military assaults in Gaza and Lebanon. In three minutes or less, filmmakers were asked to tell their stories in a single shot. Despite the fact that Palestinians have been dispersed across the globe, with the majority of them unable to return to their homeland, “Summer 2006, Palestine”, initiated by the Palestinian Film Collective, was limited to those filmmakers who live in Palestine. |

Beur is Beautiful: A retrospective of Maghrebi-French Cinema
A groundbreaking program of Maghrebi-French cinema: an emerging trend reflecting upon the legacy of colonialism and the challenges of integration and assimilation of immigrant populations in France. Curated by Carrie Tarr. This exciting program premiered at ArteEast’s 2007 CinemaEast Film Festival. The term "beur" is a French slang derivation of the word Arabe, and refers to the French-born children of North African (Maghrebi) immigrants who, for the most part, grew up in the concrete wastelands of the low-income housing projects in the working-class suburbs (banlieues) of France.
