SUMMARY:Larissa Sansour: Soup Over Bethlehem
DESCRIPTION:LARISSA SANSOUR\nFilm Screening: Soup Over Bethlehem \nLocation: 401 Richmond Rooftop (401 Richmond St. West)\nDate: September 9\, 2022 | 7pm – 8pm\nFree Admission – Register via Eventbrite \nSoup Over Bethlehem (Film\, 9′) depicts an ordinary Palestinian family\, Sansour’s own\, around a dinner table on a rooftop overlooking the West Bank city of Bethlehem. What starts as a culinary discussion about the national dish ‘mloukhieh’ soon evolves into a personal and engaging conversation about politics – thereby emphasising the symbiosis of food and politics so indicative of the Palestinian experience. (Description courtesy of the artist). \nThis screening of Soup Over Bethlehem will be accompanied by a response to the film by Serene Husni\, addressing various concerns ranging from language and food histories to the complexities of ‘national dishes’. \nGUEST SPEAKER BIO:\nSerene Husni is a video editor\, mentor\, writer and translator. A Diasporic Palestinian\, and immigrant from Jordan turned Canadian-settler\, she is a displaced human existing between multiple cultures\, languages\, and locales. She creates most of her own work in her mother tongue\, Arabic. Freely available to watch online\, her latest film “Brown Bread & Apricots” (2020) talks about the role of the pantry in homemaking for her father’s exiled Palestinian family. The film won the Qayrub Award for “Best Canadian Short Film” from the Toronto Arab Film Festival in 2022. Serene was a guest writer on the first season of the podcast Mahdoum -digestible in Arabic- by SOWT\, which talks about the histories of popular “Arab” dishes. She is a co-writer and co-editor on the much-anticipated feature documentary by Polina Teif\, A Eulogy for The Dead Sea (2022). \n\nSoup Over Bethlehem is presented as part of Place Settings II\, which continues Summer 2022 with performative projects staged throughout the city of Toronto. Each project engages in a discursive gesture that considers new possibilities at the intersections of food practices and public space\, revealing the shareable and relational qualities of both. \nPlace Settings\, curated by Noa Bronstein\, is a large-scale\, durational project that considers how food functions to connect and disrupt. Focusing specifically on the intersections of food\, public space\, and architecture\, Place Settings points to formal and informal structures that offer forms of nourishment\, be they physical\, emotional\, social\, or political. \nWe are working towards accessibility measures for our events. For more information\, please email Emily Cook\, Education/Accessibility Programs Director\, at emily[at]criticaldistance.ca. \nClick here to learn more about Place Settings II.

SUMMARY:Conversation and Screening: Adrià Julià and Noa Bronstein
DESCRIPTION:Conversation and Screening: Adrià Julià and Noa Bronstein \nSaturday\, September 22nd\, 2022\n3:00 pm\nInnis Town Hall (2 Sussex Avenue) \n\nAdrià Julià will be joined by curator Noa Bronstein for a discussion into his ongoing interest in the parallel and overlapping histories of film production and popcorn consumption. Using an historical perspective with the language of cinema\, Julià encourages a critical look at the impact of history and culture on food and images and how these inform our understanding of the world around us. \nA screening of Julià’s Popcorn will follow the conversation. The film is adapted from footage originally presented by the San Diego-based camera company Photron of a single kernel of corn exploding into popcorn over twelve seconds. Shot with a slow-motion high-speed camera that the company sought to promote\, the found mini-film was reimagined by Julià and stretched into Popcorn\, a feature film. \n\n\nThis program is presented by Critical Distance Centre for Curators as part of Place Settings II\, featuring film and performance-based projects curated by Noa Bronstein throughout the city of Toronto. This program is in dialogue with Julià’s A Very White Flower (on view at Artscape Youngplace) and The Penitential Tyrant: Dolores Is Pain at the AGO on September 16th.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the artist and curator \nAdrià Julià received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts\, a Maisterschüler from the Universität der Künste Berlin\, and a BFA from Universitat de Barcelona.
