queer palestinian short film: "dawoud, ya yonathai"

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

palestine | 6 minutes | 2020 | experimental short film audio in arabic; english subtitles embedded

dawoud, ya yonathai | داود، يا يوناثاي, directed by qais assali, takes us into the archive of arab literature,  and in particular the diaries of palestinian educator and arab nationalist khalil al sakakini and the way he speaks about his “soulmate” dawoud al sidawi. through animation, research, and live performance, we hear al sakikini’s sorrow about the loss of the person that he framed as the “david” to his jonathan, even while director qais assali asks us to sit with the discomfort of attempting to read meaning into the private writings of a long-dead person. the experimental film is not always easy to understand: it opens with a description of all the things the film is not, the animation of real photographs to mimic people speaking feels strange and gets us into uncanny valley territory, and portions of the speech appear to deliberately not be subtitled in english. but these difficulties are not unintentional; rather, they are a profound part of the messiness of queer histories and how we retell them. - deepa's full review, including content notes at the end

watch on vimeo, and check out the website of creator qais assali, a palestinian interdisciplinary artist

Dr. Areej, Dr. Ahmad, and their child Sarra are a Gazan family who have been suffering from displacement, hunger, and lack of medical care throughout the genocide. Along with three other members of their family — Dr. Areej's mother and Dr. Ahmad's mother and father — they are seeking to evacuate to Egypt.

Please donate what you can and share. Donations have been slow — as of March 10, they have not yet raised even $2000. Can we try to raise at least $1000 in the next few days?

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

“Posting a spotify link on tumblr is useless because no one listens to them anyway” wrong. It serves the purpose of showing you who likes you enough to have sex with you

Early Sunday (April 28th), Israeli soldiers conducted raids and abducted at least fifteen Palestinians in the West Bank

The IOF stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, causing property damage. They took Palestinians in for long interrogations. They abducted former political prisoners who have already served their sentence. They also abducted two children.

This mainly happened in cities like Tulkarem, Qalqilia, Jenin, Tubas, Salfit, Jericho, and Jerusalem - however, some individuals were abducted from various cities not mentioned.

Some of the abducted individuals are named below:

In Qalqilia: Khaled Morad Eshteiwi (19 years old). Khaled is a student and former political prisoner. He was abducted after his home was stormed and ransacked.

In Nablus (Deir Al-Hatab village): Narmin Jamal Hussein, a young woman, was abducted from her home following an extreme military operation in her area.

In Hebron: Soheib Salama Abu Daoud was abducted after his home was invaded and searched.

In Jericho: Ziad Saleh Ibrahim Nujoom (18 years old) was abducted from an-Nuway’imah village, Suhaib Ramzi Hussein Farah (18 years old) was abducted from the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, and Raed Saed Fayek Ibrahim (18 years old) was abducted at a southern military roadblock in the city, despite being a resident of Ein Sultan refugee camp.

The Israeli military has been carrying out many abductions at many areas and villages in the West Bank. Palestinians are not safe in their homes, they get stopped at military roadblocks, and are held hostage to put pressure on "wanted" family members.
