The 2023 Mizna Film Series highlights archival works and initiatives that document Palestine’s struggle for liberation. With quarterly screenings at the Trylon, the series presents rare and rediscovered Palestinian films as well as works produced by international collaborators and groups in solidarity with Palestine, like the Japanese Red Army and San Francisco Newsreel.
The February screening explores themes of militancy and solidarity in the Palestinian liberation movement. Shot on the frontlines of the Palestinian liberation struggle by Japanese Red Army filmmakers Masao Adachi and Kôji Wakamatsu in 1971, Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War displays the everyday life of guerrilla fighters training in refugee camps, overlaid with radical political propaganda and narration. Produced by the San Francisco Newsreel in 1973, Revolution Until Victory (We Are the Palestinian People) offers a history of the Palestinian Liberation Movement.
Screenings take place Wednesday, February 22, 2023 at 7pm and Sunday February 26 at 12:30pm at Trylon Cinema.
