Abstract

describe their challenges and successes in curating a program of short films in the UK as part of the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba in collaboration with the Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange, a cultural organization. They discuss their success in attracting a wider audience by programming around the universal theme of love, which allowed for reflection on the different types of love that connect to the usurpation of Palestinian land, the history of ethnic cleansing, and life under occupation. Perhaps it is unfortunate that facts and the systemic racism supporting Israeli settler-colonial occupation are not always enough to command the attention of mainstream audiences, but that is precisely why accessible books like this are so valuable. It is the perfect companion for a focused Palestine-themed film screening, series, or festival, where the aim is not only to reach the base of supporters in celebration of Palestinian and Arab cinema but to educate a wider audience about the ongoing struggles faced by Palestinians as demonstrated through their films. The authors conclude by optimistically observing that the achievements of Palestinian cinema “are enduring and signal a growing international sympathy” for the Palestinian cause (p. 54), despite the intensified precarity for Palestinian cinema and solidarity activism. While the histories of this subject are more deeply analyzed elsewhere, the authors provide an encounter that invites research, collaboration, and involvement, modeling the activity of building film culture as a contemporary means of advancing justice for Palestine.

巴勒斯坦左派及其衰落:忠诚的反对派
描述他们与文化组织谢菲尔德巴勒斯坦文化交流会合作,在英国策划一个短片项目的挑战和成功,作为Nakba 70周年纪念的一部分。他们讨论了他们通过围绕爱这一普遍主题的节目吸引更广泛观众的成功,这让人们能够反思与巴勒斯坦土地被侵占、种族清洗历史和被占领生活有关的不同类型的爱。也许不幸的是,支持以色列定居者殖民占领的事实和系统性种族主义并不总是足以引起主流观众的注意,但这正是为什么像这样的通俗读物如此有价值的原因。它是以巴勒斯坦为主题的电影放映、系列或电影节的完美伴侣,其目的不仅是为了吸引支持者,庆祝巴勒斯坦和阿拉伯电影,而且是为了教育更广泛的观众,让他们了解巴勒斯坦人通过电影所面临的持续斗争。作者最后乐观地观察到,尽管巴勒斯坦电影和团结行动主义日益不稳定,但巴勒斯坦电影的成就“正在持续,并表明国际社会对巴勒斯坦事业的同情与日俱增”(第54页)。虽然其他地方对这一主题的历史进行了更深入的分析,但作者提供了一个邀请研究、合作和参与的机会,将构建电影文化的活动建模为促进巴勒斯坦正义的当代手段。
