Israeli officials and their supporters tried to cancel a Netflix film depicting the violence behind Israel’s creation in 1948. But their efforts failed. @denatakruri met up with “Farha” Director Darin Sallam last year to hear why she made the film and why it sparked a crisis for Israelis. #Farha #Netflix #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Film #Nakba

“They spared no effort to harm us.” We organized a special screening of “Farha” by Darin J. Sallam for Nakba survivors at a refugee camp in Jordan. After watching the film “Farha,” 83-year-old Fathiyeh from Zakariya, Palestine, said it took her back to what happened to them in 1948. Later, I sat down with Darin for a podcast episode of “Choose Your Weapon,” where she reflected on the reactions from Nakba survivors to “Farha.” Follow the link in bio to watch the full episode on YouTube or listen on Spotify.

Honored to have been bestowed the insignia of the Order of Excellence by His Majesty King Abdullah II on May 25th, 2024 at Al-Hussainiyya Palace on the 78th anniversary of our Jordan’s independence which also coincides this year with the Silver Jubilee. This royal recognition in my home country and from His Majesty the King has an incredibly special place in my heart and I hope to continue creating more cinematic works that hopefully will have an impact in this world. تشرفت بتكريمي من قبل جلالة الملك عبدالله الثاني المُعظّم بوسام التميّز في ٢٥ أيار ٢٠٢٤ في قصر الحسينية في الذكرى ٧٨ لاستقلال أردننا الغالي والذي يصادف أيضاً هذا العام اليوبيل الفضي. هذا التقدير الملكي السامي في وطني و عزوتي و من جلالة الملك له قيمة خاصة في قلبي و آمل أن أستمر في انتاج المزيد من الأعمال السينمائية التي أتمنى أن تترك أثر في هذا العالم بإذن الله. @rhcjo #independenceday #jordan

Meet 94-year-old Halima Abdelhadi. Zionists expelled her from her village of Zikrin when she was 18 years old. We organized a special screening of Farha by Darin J. Sallam for Nakba survivors at a refugee camp in Jordan. During this intimate gathering, Halima shares her heartfelt reaction after watching a traditional Palestinian wedding celebration in the film (the “Henna” scene), drawing poignant parallels with her upbringing in Palestine. Later, I sat down with Darin for a podcast episode of “Choose Your Weapon,” where she reflected on Halima’s words, underscoring the power of storytelling in preserving Nakba stories. Stay tuned for more moments and insights from the event. Video edited by @shivansarna Translation by @abdullahdwaikat حليمة عبد الهادي, ٩٤ عامًا. قام الصهاينة بطردها من قريتها زكرين عندما كان عمرها ١٨ عاماً. قمنا بتنظيم عرض خاص لفيلم “فرحة” لِدارين سلّام للناجين من النكبة في مخيم للاجئين في الأردن. خلال هذا اللقاء المميز، تشارك حليمة رد فعلها الصادق بعد مشاهدة حفل زفاف فلسطيني تقليدي في الفيلم (مشهد “الحناء”) والذي تقارنه بشكل مؤثر بأيامها في فلسطين. لاحقًا، جلست مع دارين في حلقة بودكاست من “Choose your Weapon”، حيث تحدثت أكثر عن كلمات حليمة، مُؤكّدة على قوة رواية القصص في الحفاظ على سردية النكبة. ترقبوا المزيد من اللحظات واللمحات المميزة من هذا الحدث.
Set in 1948 Palestine, FARHA, written & directed by Darin J. Sallam, vividly depicts the events of Al-Nakba (“catastrophe”). This week, as we mark 76 years of Al-Nakba, survivors of this pivotal moment in history watched the film for the first time. We’ll be sharing more glimpses of their reactions to this screening in a special podcast episode of “Choose Your Weapon” with guest Darin Sallam. Stay tuned ✊🏽🍉 Video edited by @shivansarna يصوّر فيلم “فرحة”، من تأليف وإخراج دارين ج. سلّام، النكبة التي تدور أحداثها في فلسطين عام ١٩٤٨. هذا الأسبوع، مع مرور الذكرى ٧٦ على النكبة، شاهد ناجون من هذه اللحظة المحورية في التاريخ الفيلم لأول مرة. سنشارككم لمحات من ردود أفعالهم بعد هذا العرض في بودكاست خاص من “Choose your Weapon” مع دارين سلام. انتظرونا.
