SUMMARY:Buffalo Literature: Author Event – Erricka Willard at Burning Books
DESCRIPTION:Utilizing my conflicting truths and heartfelt inspirational reflections to heal and connect God’s family\nI wish to transform millions of lives: moving people from fear to faith and understanding\, bringing healing\, embracing\, and allowing the love of self first.\nThis is a collection of the many emotions that I battled with for years\, including while I was depressed and suffering from heartache\, amongst other things. It is not meant for you to read this book as a chapter book\, reading from cover to cover\, chapter to chapter\, from the beginning to the end. I purposely wrote it so that you could go directly to the table of contents and locate the chapter title that resonates with you and where you are in your journey in life right now. After you read over the titles of the chapters\, you will know exactly where you need to begin your healing journey.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Film: Screening of Khaled Jarrar’s 'Infiltrators' at Burning Books
DESCRIPTION:Khaled Jarrar’s stunning Infiltrators (70 minutes\, Palestine / United Arab Emirates\, 2012) is a visceral road movie that chronicles the daily travails of Palestinians of all backgrounds as they seek routes through\, under\, around\, and over a bewildering matrix of barriers and border walls in the highly militarized West Bank. Alternating between cigarette breaks\, detours\, waiting\, and moving\, Infiltrators depicts the cunning\, unnerving\, and constant struggle to defy captivity and occupation. \nFor attendees: The screening will take place at Burning Books located at 420 Connecticut Street\, Buffalo\, NY 14213. Street parking is available. For transportation by bus\, it is near stops for the 3\, 19\, 22\, and 101 bus lines. Seating is first-come\, first-serve. \nFree to attend ($10 suggested donation welcome) \nThis screening is presented as part of the series\, Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance. Support for this program is provided by Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Film courtesy of Third World Newsreel. \nAbout the filmmaker\nKhaled Jarrar was born in Jenin\, Occupied Palestine in 1976. He lives and works in Ramallah. Jarrar completed his studies in interior design at Palestine Polytechnic University in 1996. Upon graduating he smuggled himself to work as a carpenter in Nazareth\, living as an underground “illegal” worker. In 1998 Jarrar enlisted in an intensive military training which resulted in working for Arafat as a personal body guard until Arafat’s death in 2004. Attempting to create a life between the military and an artistic practice\, Jarrar entered the field of photography in 2005. Jarrar graduated from the International Academy of Art – Palestine\, Ramallah in 2011 and completed an MFA in fine art from the University of Arizona in 2019. \nJarrar\, a multidisciplinary artist\, explores modern power struggles and their sociocultural impact on ordinary citizens through highly symbolic photographs\, videos\, film\, and performative interventions. His State of Palestine project was featured in the 7th Berlin Biennale. Where We Lost Our Shadows\, his filmic collaboration with Pulitzer prize winning composer Du Yun\, was shown at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Jarrar’s work has been featured at Maraya Art Centre\, Sharjah; the New Museum\, New York City; the University of Applied Arts\, Vienna; the 15th Jakarta Biennale; 52nd October Salon\, Belgrade; Al-Ma’mal Foundation\, Jerusalem; and the London Film Festival. Infiltrators\, Jarrar’s first feature length film\, was a documentary about the business of Palestinian’s “illegally” crossing and won the FIPRESCI Award for Best Documentary\, Jury Special Award and the Muhr Arab Documentary Special Jury Prize at the Dubai International Film Festival in 2012. Notes on Displacement\, his second feature length\, about a Palestinian refugee’s flight from Syria to Germany\, received a world premiere at the IDFA Envision Competition in November 2022. \nBanner image: A still from Khaled Jarrar’s film\, Infiltrators.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Film: Screening of Alex Rivera's 'Sleep Dealer' at Squeaky Wheel
DESCRIPTION:Sleep Dealer (90 minutes\, 2008) is a science-fiction film set on the U.S. / Mexico border that tells the story of Memo Cruz (Luis Fernando Peña)\, a young man from Mexico who dreams of coming to the United States. However\, in this brave new borderland\, crossing is impossible\, and Memo ‘migrates’ in a new way — over the net. By connecting his body to the net Memo controls a machine that performs his labor in America\, sending his pure work without the body of the worker. \nA film that has gained a cult following since its release (when it was awarded awards at Sundance\, the Gotham Awards\, and the Berlin Film Festival)\, the films ideas on remote labor\, unmanned war\, and border maintenance remains terrifyingly prescient 18 years later. \nSleep Dealer is my first feature film. I made it\, in part\, because I love science fiction. I grew up watching Star Wars\, Brazil and Blade Runner. However\, at a certain point\, I realized that despite the genre’s wild stories and countless special effects\, there were some things that were unimaginable – and that maybe there was an opportunity to do something radically new with sci-fi… The paradox of a world connected by technology\, but divided by borders\, is the central concept of Sleep Dealer. Other present-day realities inspired my futuristic fantasy: violent reality shows like COPS\, private military contractors like Blackwater\, remote control drones like the Predator Drone\, the trend of outsourcing jobs over the web\, the impending global water crisis\, and the ubiquity of video sharing sites YouTube to name a few. This is a science-fiction with many anchors in today’s reality. Sleep Dealer is my first film. It’s not anything like a Star Wars or a Blade Runner. In many ways it’s a humble film. But it’s also an honest attempt to use science- fiction film to say something new\, and something true\, about our world today. – Alex Rivera\, 2008 \nFor attendees: The screening will take place at Burning Books located at 420 Connecticut Street\, Buffalo\, NY 14213. Street parking is available. For transportation by bus\, it is near stops for the 3\, 19\, 22\, and 101 bus lines. Seating is first-come\, first-serve. \nFree to attend ($10 suggested donation welcome) \nThis screening is presented as part of the series\, Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance.
