أنا أتزلج اليوم - ?מה שלומך? - دبكة - منطق الطیر
أتزلج اليوم
في الأول أنا اقدر على الجدار, ثم أنا أتزلج بنفسي على بعد أمتار قليلة, وأنا أتعلم للتزلج أسرع. وأنا أسقط وأجرح ركبتي ويديني أيضا, ولكن أحب التزلج.

على لأمتار قليلة - for a few metres
أنا أتعلم التزلج بسرعة - I learn to skate with speed, ie fast/er
ويدي - my hands, ?? that's not plural, I want the plural?? never mind...
More corrections: في بداية الأمر كنت استند الى الجدار كل الوقت , لكن لاحقا استطعت أن أتزلج لوحدي لبضعة أمتار. بعدها تعلمت أن أتزلج بشكل أسرع ولكنني سقطت مرة واحدة على ركبتي ويديي على سطح الجليد الأملس و القاسي. على الرغم من كل ذلك أنا أحب التزلج وساذهب مرة اخرى.

منطق الطیر
الكتب إسمه ’منطق الطیر’ أو ’مقامات الطیور’, والكاتبه إسمه فرید الدین أو عطار أو ابو حامد بن ابوبکر ابراهیم. قرأت المقدمة وقصة صغيرة عن الشيخ والبنت أيضا.
Corrected: الكتاب اسمه ’منطق الطیر’ أو ’مقامات الطیور’, والكاتب إسمه فرید الدین أو عطار أو ابو حامد بن ابوبکر ابراهیم. قرأت المقدمة وقصة صغيرة عن الشيخ والبنت أيضا.
والكاتب إسمه - 'and the writer, his name (is)', only one possessive, it's assumed that it's the writer of this book
...
الدبكة
في هذا الفيلم هناك الرقص الدبكة, إنه قليلا مثل درسي الرقص في مهرجان لحقوق الإنسان الأسبوع الماضي في جامعة أكسفورد بروكس
Corrected: في هذا الفيلم رقص الدبكة إنه قليلا يشبه درسي للرقص في مهرجان حقوق الإنسان الأسبوع الماضي في جامعة أكسفورد بروكس
في هذا الفيلم رقص الدبكة - 'There is Dabke in this film' - of course, no need for the extra words, the invisible Arabic 'is' does all the work
يشبه - ?
مهرجان حقوق الإنسان - 'Festival of Human Rights' - idaafa within an idaafa, so alif lam only arrives at the end.

Nour Bishouty - Shubbak 2015
http://www.nourbishouty.com/INSTEAD-OF-A-RESOLUTION
Take a look at this photo. I really like the long line of red rectangles. No, I haven't the faintest idea what I am meant to think. By the way, don't tell me what to think. I need that freedom. The no-words-i-ness of it all. My head is too filled with words already.
What do I like about this?
I think, hmm, that is a straight line, but I enjoy this one.
The reds are all the same, I like that regularity, why is that?
Some are bigger than others, but they are all of a similar type. They fit together.
It is tidy, that makes me happy too.
I have a thing about gallery walls, all that calm space, letting the little rectangles be cherished.
What bothers me about this?
The table of things all jumbled up to the side.
Nowhere to sit and think, standing gives me backache and a jiggly feeling, I'd rather settle somewhere and gaze at this equivalent of a beach.
Where are the people?
Where is the short video of the artist chatting about what scissors she uses to cut out the cloth?
That's the best bit for me, similar to seeing a poet deal with a loud lorry blotting out some of their words, or seeing them smile as they talk to us and reach down to drink from their water. It is the real part of the objects and colours stuck on a wall in a public building.
Anything else?
Nour Bishouty is hoping to take part in this Kickstarter Project. 4 artists will travel on separate cargo ships for the 23 day trip from Vancouver to Shanghai. They will be artists in residence.

Syrian Short Films - 4th of 4 - 'General Situation' directed by Nart Alkass
https://vimeo.com/22671306
The title reminds me of Corporal Punishment, General Disorder, Captain Sensible.. some WW2 jokes.
If you haven't learnt the word for 'directed by' yet, you haven't been paying attention. It is:
اخراج - ikhraj
Also: a tiny film on the killing in Syria: https://vimeo.com/53787940 . No blood, so simple.

July Season of Short Films from Syria - 3rd of 4 - Director Amar Chebib - مشمش
https://vimeo.com/47386428
Made before the civil war started in 2011. Gained Short Drama Awards at 2 film festivals.
Making that decision to leave: when push comes to shove, all the things which keep the situation in balance are outweighed by one small final event or word, the one which encapsulates the central problem.

July Season of Short Films from Syria - 2/4
This one is called 'Case of Rhythm' directed by Dani Shahfeh:
https://vimeo.com/13661041
A drummer I know has joined the facebook group and came out with a whole load of comments I would never have dreamt of.
I wonder whether short films allow you to focus on the details because there isn't a huge sweep of history or long involved story to follow. A viewer only has a limited amount of attention. A short poem allows me to go right into the punctuation and words because I am not being pulled away to the next 10 stanzas. In fact the shorter, the better.
This film took me to the hot aimless summers of being teenage, where the surfaces of things seemed inexplicable and older people were at a vast distance, not explaining anything of any importance or being real in a way I could understand at all.
I also recognised the strangely body-built men of my son's games, a fantasy of sas commandos and blank-eyed warriors. This young man was a lot more human than them, but still had those overtones.
Practice reading the names in the credits. Eventually it will become second nature to recognise that the letters m h m d will always be Mohammad and m h m u d will always be Mahmood, for example.

Mosaic Rooms - Hrair Sarkissian
2 films at the same time.
I could only see one at a time as they were facing each other across a large room. I switched from one to the other assessing their relationship to each other.
The sound track from one was the only noise in the room.
The progress of smashing and demolition in one film was out of synch with the collapsing building in the other film.
Just because someone has made such a film doesn't mean I have to spend any time there. It is a free choice. That's what I prefer above all.
Upstairs there were large photographs which seemed extra still. All photos are still, but these were more so than usual. The dark green trees gave me that impression.
The book shop is enticing. Since there was no charge and I was staying for free at my parents' house I had some £ to spend. Call it an investment in the cultural life of several nations.
