Join us on August 26 for a screening of SLINGSHOT HIP HOP, programmed by former Twin Cities Arab Film Fest curator, Fouzi Slisli, who will do a special introduction for the film.
Slingshot Hip Hop (dir. Jackie Reem Salloum 88m, DCP, Arabic w/ English subtitles)
Slingshot Hip Hop documents the emergence and evolution of Palestinian hip hop, weaving together the narratives of resilient young artists navigating life in Gaza, the West Bank, and Palestine 48. As they delve into the world of Hip Hop and harness its power as a transformative tool, overcoming the barriers imposed by occupation and poverty.
Mizna Film Programming 2026: Looking Forward, Looking Back
Throughout 2026, Insurgent Transmissions will present films programmed by former Mizna festival curators, individually chosen because of their significance in Mizna’s curatorial history and impact on the landscape of SWANA filmmaking.
In 2026, Mizna celebrates the twentieth edition of our flagship program, and we mark this milestone by drawing on cinematic transmissions from our past festivals. We align this series with our broader 2026 film programming––Looking Forward, Looking Back––which confronts the visual record of SWANA cinema, including our own festival, demanding radical new meanings from the archive rather than a simple, sentimental look. This program spans the entire year and multiple venues.
