DTSTART:20261121T173000Z
DESCRIPTION:As a professor at Columbia University\, virtuoso pianist and in
	cisive critic\nEdward Said operated at the very heart of the academic worl
	d. Yet from his birth\nin Jerusalem in 1935 to his death in New York in 20
	03\, the Palestinian-American\nthinker remained a rootless outsider. No on
	e deconstructed the Western gaze on\nthe Middle East like Said did. He cha
	llenged world leaders\, exposed dehumanizing\nlanguage\, and tirelessly sp
	oke out against injustice.\n\nDirector Maiken Baird interweaves family fil
	ms\, television debates\, and\ninterviews to form a portrait of Said and h
	is homeland. Said’s personal journey\nis inseparable from the history of P
	alestine\, from his childhood in Jerusalem\nand the trauma of the Nakba in
	 1948 to his groundbreaking books on Orientalism\nand the Palestinian caus
	e.\n\nEdward Said: Between Worlds brings the voice of one of the 20th cent
	ury’s most\ninfluential thinkers back to life. It is a compelling profile 
	of a man who lived\nbetween two worlds and whose incisive insights at the 
	intersection of culture\,\npolitics\, and identity remain as relevant toda
	y as ever.\n\nIDFA x De Balie\nDe Balie has selected six of the best films
	 featured at IDFA. Documentaries on a\nwide range of subjects\, that share
	 a common thread: they are auteur-driven\nworks\, created with a distinct 
	artistic vision. Films that use the camera as a\ntool of expression\, rath
	er than mere registration. Join us after each screening\nfor a conversatio
	n hosted by De Balie\, with filmmakers and notable guests.
