DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community screening of From Ground Zero, the Oscar-nominated 
 film about resilience and hope rising from tragedy. All profits from ticket 
 sales will be donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance to support 
 their lifesaving work in Palestine. After the film, an optional Iftar will 
 be provided for reflection and community building.\n\nFilm Screening at 
 4:30 pm\nIftar/Dinner at 7:15 pm \n\nFrom Ground Zero is an anthology 
 project comprised of 22 short films created by filmmakers from Gaza. 
 Launched by renowned Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi, the initiative 
 was made during the ongoing conflict. It aims to provide a platform for 
 young Palestinian artists to express themselves through their craft. Each 
 film, ranging in length from three to six minutes, presents a unique 
 perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project captures the 
 diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the 
 challenges, tragedies, and moments of resilience. Using a mix of genres, 
 including fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation, and experimental 
 cinema, and despite harsh filming conditions, Gaza’s vibrant artistic 
 scene shines through this stunning anthology film, which offers an intimate 
 and powerful portrait of daily life in modern-day Palestine – and the 
 enduring spirit of its people.\n\nSponsored by:\n\nThe Arab American
