Proceeds from this event will benefit Palestine Red Crescent Society. \n\n\n\nPalestine’s official submission for the 2025 Academy Awards and an official selection at TIFF 2024\, this new documentary coordinated and funded by filmmaker Rashid Masharawi is a collection of revealing stories from 22 Palestinian filmmakers living through war\, who capture their lives in Gaza amidst war. \n\n\n\nUsing a blend of animation\, documentary\, and fiction\, they create a powerful testament to the steadfastness of the human spirit. This film serves as a remarkable reflection of how art can thrive even in the darkest times\, showcasing the enduring spirit and creativity that emerge amid ongoing devastation. \n\n\n\n“The filmmaking ingenuity on display is undoubtedly impressive\, but it’s self-reflexive too\, between the lo-fi digital quality of most shorts and the sense that the movie’s very texture is a commentary too… Many snippets of Gaza’s plight have made their way onto social media … but few of these fleeting clips have provided such an in-depth look at the lives of Gaza’s citizens. The psychological impact of their plight is made detailed and evident\, but so is their hope in the face of doom.” -Variety \n\n\n\n“… an unforgettable exhibition of the human spirit\, a memorial to the trauma and brutality of life under war\, and a collection of art that raises awareness and demands a better ending to this story than a sequel.” -RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n \n Director: Rashid Masharawi\n Year: 2024\n Country: Palestine\n Runtime: 112 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/from-ground-zero-2/ CATEGORIES:documentary ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/from-ground-zero.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250202T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250202T210000 DTSTAMP:20260627T081239 CREATED:20241221T181428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250123T051726Z UID:10001653-1738522800-1738530000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Resilience Rising: Echoes of Owyhee DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Celebrating Black History Month \n\n\n\nIn the corner of Oregon balancing the border of Idaho\, nestled among the rugged terrain of the Owyhee Canyonlands\, a group of eight Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color leaders embarked on a journey that would not only deepen their understanding of the environment but also ignite a fervor for both environmental advocacy and racial justice. As they traversed the untouched landscapes\, each step echoed with the weight of history and the urgency of the present. Inspired by their experiences in the Owyhee Canyonlands\, the group made a pact to become advocates for both the environment and the cause of racial justice. \n\n\n\nDirected by Chad Brown. \n\n\n\nScreening followed by a moderated panel discussion with the filmmaker and five panelists ending with a question & answer period. Information will be available at the event regarding Chad Brown’s nonprofit Love Is King and how to get involved with Oregon Natural Desert Association’s ongoing efforts to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands for future generations. \n\n\n\nMovie run time: 32 minutesPanel discussion plus Q&A: 45 minutes \n\n\n\nA note from the director about the film’s intentional incorporation of Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of justice: \n\n\n\n“Many individuals remain unaware about this aspect; however\, it’s important to recognize its historical significance. When we examine history more critically—often referred to as “his story” connected primarily to Caucasian narratives—we find considerable information has been omitted over time. There exists an extensive amount of historical context absent from educational resources; one must delve deeply to uncover these truths. \n\n\n\nAs director of this film—and should your focus include themes related to Dr. Martin Luther King—I draw significant inspiration from his speeches and writings prior to his passing. These texts resonate profoundly on multiple levels; I’ve interwoven elements from them within my work which connects themes related to nature alongside those pertaining to civil rights—the concept symbolized by “going up to the mountaintop.”  \n\n\n\nThe filmmaking process aimed intentionally at reflecting Dr. King’s vision where social justice intersects with environmental advocacy—a nuanced understanding he possessed which often eludes many others today. An examination or reading through his works reveals discussions surrounding nature intertwined with issues such as dignity and respect etc. \n\n\n\nThus far into production stages for this project were approached strategically while honoring Dr. King’s legacy through both inspiration and direct reference within our narrative framework—it results in an exceptionally unique outdoor cinematic experience unlike any other existing films in this genre. \n\n\n\nThis project sets out not only as an outdoor documentary but redefines storytelling techniques by incorporating profound messages drawn from King’s insights into our narration structure while emphasizing conservation efforts regarding Owyhee Canyonlands alongside showcasing eight Black\, Indigenous and People of Color leaders who embody principles rooted in Dr. Martin Luther King’s ethos.” – Chad BrownAyesha Christian (Panelist)Ayesha is the owner/operator of Nomad Mix\, www.nomadmix.com\, a savory trail mix company whose mission is to offer the world a healthy snack while protecting our natural environment and our inherent human curiosity for exploration.
