As Israel's genocidal war on Gaza continues, so too does global resistance to the war and to Israeli occupation of Palestine. Jan Haaken talks with Shams Mahmoud, President of Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights (SUPER) at Portland State University, about the upcoming Palestine Film Festival on the PSU campus and the importance of bringing the rich culture of Palestinian film and filmmaking into organizing spaces.  They discuss the controversy around the rallying cry, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and why this registers a democratic vision of Palestine liberation. In turning to the Palestine Film Festival, they discuss two highly recognized films that will be screening: FIVE BROKEN CAMERAS and THE TIME THAT REMAINS. The films are quite different in style but each brings a distinctive eye to living under conditions of occupation, including various forms of resistance. The films are free and open to the public and will be screened at the Fifth Avenue Theater in Portland, Friday evening through Sunday, March 1-3rd.
