SAT-7 TÜRK’s first ever feature-length film, 𝒀𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒛, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Greek-Turkish population exchange, has won the Jewel Award for best drama at the CEVMA (Christian European Visual Media Association) awards. Ümit Teymur, acting Executive Director of SAT-7 TÜRK, said the team was “delighted” with the award and the impact the film is making: "𝒀𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒛 is about events that happened a hundred years ago, but its contemporary themes of forced migration, discrimination, and human suffering speak to audiences today."

https://lnkd.in/deJxjwd4 This movie illustrates one of the most insidious elements of exterminationist antisemitism as practiced by the Nazis, namely, to project onto the Jews the very traits of those who wish to exterminate them. Even as the Nazis were pursuing a goal of world conquest and enslaving humanity, they accused the Jews of doing so. Even as Arab political culture embraces genocidal discourse and cheers it most savage expressions, pro-Palestinian propagandists accuse Israel of their own desires and crimes. This film systematically projects onto the Israelis the mentality and actions of Arab troops, clearly present in 1948, and so recently and horrifyingly illustrated by Hamas. In putting out this film you will be contributing mightily to the radical moral disorientation of your viewers and serve the cause of those who hate and want to exploit you.

Rethinking African Futures in Film. In our latest DAAD Letter, we interviewed DAAD alumnus and renowned Cameroonian director Jean-Pierre Bekolo. Known for his bold approach to filmmaking, Bekolo has spent over three decades creating films that challenge conventional narratives and explore alternative African futures. In the interview, Bekolo discusses how Afrofuturism allows him to imagine a world where Africa is not bound by its colonial past. His work, including Africa’s first science fiction film "Those Who Bleed", asks the question “What if?” – opening the door to new possibilities for the continent’s future. He also critiques the role of neo-colonialism in African politics and highlights the need for cinema to be a catalyst for societal change. Bekolo’s approach to filmmaking is not just about creating stories; it’s about empowering African audiences to rethink their reality and liberate themselves from the past. He continues to advocate for a cinema that takes risks and actively engages with global political issues.

My #BlackHistoryMonth ... Title: Shaping African Identity: The Role of British Colonial Films in #Kenya (1920s-1950s). "The #Colonial Film Unit (CFU), established in 1939, aimed to produce propaganda films that encouraged British support during World War II (Smyth, 1979). The CFU's role was to manage the production of films that portrayed the Empire favorably during military and colonial campaigns in East and Central Africa (Smyth, 1979). The #British Empire's trusteeship approach differed from South #Africa's strict, prejudiced governance (Burns, 2000). The censorship of narrative films played a pivotal role in managing the British Empire's image and shaping the identity of its imperial subjects in East and Central Africa (Smyth, 1979). The Cinematograph Protection Act of 1927 imposed a quota on #American films and instituted censorship in African colonies to control the portrayal of white colonials and Africans (Smyth, 1979). The South African approach departed from censorship guidelines, leading to experiments on how Africans identified with #narrative films (Burns, 2000). In today's interconnected world, a nation's brand image is critical for shaping its identity domestically and internationally (Yang & Klyueva & Taylor, 2012). The British Empire's political, social, economic, and security approach to narrative films indicates that image management is not merely a public relations issue (Hansen, 2010)."

#news #history #movie #yemen #arabic #oscars #usa #turkey #siria #film Bombing of Yemen. Let's dive into history. And remember the movie... Today, in our column “Through the Prism of History,” the world classic of cinema is “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962) The film received 7 Oscars and many other awards, and I must say, deservedly so. The 60s of the last century were the golden era of cinema, then they knew how to make films, and winning an Oscar had not yet become a profanity. Now the film, in various versions, is included in the 100 best films ever made. The main character of the film is the English intelligence officer Thomas Edward Lawrence, who during the First World War played an important role in the Arab uprising in 1915 - 1918 against the Ottoman Empire. The script is based on Lawrence’s own autobiographical book, “Seven Pillars of Wisdom,” which at one time brought him popularity. Lawrence was sent by the British Empire to the Middle East to rouse the Arabs against the Turks. The Arabs were isolated tribes and were constantly at enmity with each other. (As now, in principle, some go to the forest, some for firewood, and if the Houthis are conditionally “for Russia,” then the Saudis are for the Americans - although this, of course, is not entirely true. Over the years, the situation changed, and former friends became enemies , the east is a delicate and insidious matter). Many Arab tribes were essentially bandits who robbed caravans. It was not difficult for the organized Turks with their own state system to maintain their protectorate over them. Until Lawrence came to the Arabs with his Anglo-Saxon mission. He managed to turn the weaknesses of the Arabs into advantages. The Arabs, advised by Lawrence, resorted to guerrilla warfare tactics. They raided and hid in the inaccessible desert. They disrupted the supply of the Turks and destroyed communications in the form of a railway. But after the victory, when the Arabs occupied Damascus, he failed to unite them. The scene at the end of the film is typical, while the Arab tribes argue for a day at a round table, a fire breaks out in the city, electricity disappears, and the water supply stops working. As a result, the liberated Arab lands are divided between France and England as colonies. READ_MORE: https://lnkd.in/dw22vSKn
