This month’s screening is a semi-autobiographical film with a unique comic sensibility that chronicles six decades of Palestinian history through the lens of one Arab family living in Israeli-occupied Nazareth.

Cinema of Resistance
What is the role of comedy and humor in resisting fascism? Bullies of all kinds hate to be laughed at, because humor undermines the fear they want their victims to have. But are there situations too serious to joke about? It might seem like such tragedies and horrors as 9/11, AIDS, police brutality, mass deportation, or the murder of political rivals should be off limits for comedy. On the other hand, Austrian psychiartist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl write "humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation" in the Nazi concentration camps. So, perhaps, humor can help us cope with suffering, but can comedy actually help change things for the better?
