But it also hints at the possibility of a larger tenant movement, one that connects battles across the city. If that movement ever fully comes into being, it’s one that New York’s one-party political system will either have to reckon with, or risk losing what once was a reliable multi-ethnic base (as is already happening across the city’s outerboroughs).” — Max Rivlen-Nadler, Hell Gate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“By putting faces to the issue, the film effectively humanizes what might otherwise feel like an abstract debate over policy and development, reminding viewers that gentrification is more than just a term, it’s a force displacing families and transforming neighborhoods beyond recognition.” — TV and City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e          \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the filmmaker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/ellen_4019396f-aa9d-4e8f-a49d-83f7f76a5921.jpg?v=1752866927\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"C9DxTc\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eSteph is a Brooklyn-based director, producer, and editor.

Their lives quickly become consumed with frontline actions and court proceedings and immersed in ceremonies and cultural practices.

As students across the country organize protests against Israel's war on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel-the \"Palestine exception\"-are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians. Scholars from diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so many young people identify with the Palestinian cause. The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container mx-auto my-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 md:w-7\/12 mx-auto text-center font-body text-base\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e           \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOfficial Selection at the 2025 Chicago Palestine Film Festival and the 2025 Capitol City Film Festival\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e       \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e“PSU professors Jan Haaken and Jennifer Ruth...have crafted a moving and passionate work of investigative journalism that invokes the past to explain the present...The Palestine Exception is an erudite, efficient and engaging documentary that asks us to question our biases and speak out for justice in the face of an uncertain future.” - \u003cem\u003eWillamette Week\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e           \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e“The exceptional new documentary, The Palestine Exception… focuses on the wave of pro-Palestinian protests that swept across U.S. college campuses in 2024 and the repressive backlash students, faculty and activists encountered, which is called onscreen ‘the New McCarthyism'.”   - Counterpunch\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e       \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"The most remarkable achievement of Jennifer Ruth and Jan Haaken’s The Palestine Exception is how it situates Palestine human rights activism in the longer history of civil rights activism both in the US and around the world...

Rather than mount a traditional tour to promote a book’s publication, Atwood conceived and executed something far more ambitious and revelatory—a theatrical version of her novel. Along the way she reinvented what a book tour could (and maybe should) be. But Atwood wasn't selling books as much as advocating an idea: how humanity must respond to the consequences of an environmentally compromised planet before her work of speculative fiction transforms into prophesy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAtwood's odyssey is now captured in Ron Mann's film, In The Wake of the Flood.

With its mystical, Blakean overtones, Atwood’s theatrical dusplay acts as a neo-pagan ritual that seeks to shake the human race into an awareness of the fragile natural world and our vital connection to it. To bring her novel into a live setting, Atwood collaborated with Los Angeles composer Orville Stoeber to write a new style of devotional music influenced by the related genres of country ballads, gospel, jazz and folk. Each performance included a cast of local readers and singers taking the roles of different characters in key scenes from the novel. The events were primarily staged in cathedrals, adding a grand visual element to the proceedings and a layer of ceremonial gravitas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFrom Edinburgh and London to New York City, Toronto and Vancouver, Atwood emerges as an earthy sentinel whose rare sensibility is always in the foreground: a life and art coalesced into a unity of medium and message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the filmmakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"C9DxTc\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"presentation\" class=\"ipc-html-content ipc-html-content--base ipc-metadata-list-item-html-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"presentation\" class=\"ipc-html-content-inner-div\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eToronto filmmaker Ron Mann is one of Canada's foremost documentary filmmakers.

Black women have often been overlooked in legal discussions since the creation of the Constitution, yet efforts led by Black women beginning in 2017 helped reignite momentum for the ERA’s passage after the fight stalled in the early 1980s.
