As always, faculty and staff have worked hard to develop courses and programs that will excite and challenge you; that take on current, resonant topics in art and culture; and that will enhance the technical and conceptual underpinnings of your work. Among the number of noteworthy developments in SFAI’s programs for this academic year are two I would highlight. First, the Institute will begin offering Minors at the undergraduate level. This new structure opens up further opportunities for exploration across departments, and speaks to our commitment to interdisciplinary (yet in-depth) study. Second, the school has reconfigured the undergraduate First Year Program to strengthen students’ ties to SFAI’s creative and intellectual community, as well as the broader artistic and cultural resources of the Bay Area. -

Ladder to Damascus a Film by Mohamad Malas
Ladder to Damascus a film by Mohamad Malas سلم إلى دمشق (Ladder to Damascus (Sulam Ila Dimashq Content Ghalia is possessed by Zeina’s spirit. Haunted by the life of a girl, who drowned the day she was born, Ghalia travels to Damascus, where she studies acting. There, she meets Fouad, an aspiring film-maker who becomes fascinated by Ghalia's duality. He takes her under his wing and helps her find a place to live. Fouad's love for Ghalia and Zeina blossoms, while the tumultuous events in Syria start unfolding in the streets around them and gradually encroaches on their idyllic isolation. Credits Syria/Lebanon/Qatar 2013, Arabic with English subtitles, Colour, 97 minutes Director Mohammad Malas Producer Georges Schoucair Scriptwriter Mohammad Malas, Samer Mohamed Ismail Cinematographer Joude Gorani Editor Ayhan Ergursel Composer Toufic Farroukh, Charbel Haber Cast Najla El Wazza, Bilal Martini, Gianna Aanid Distribution Rights The distribution rights are with our colleagues of MC Distribution in Beirut. We are happy to put you in contact. Film-maker Mohamad Malas Mohamad Malas was born in 1945 in Quneitra on the Golan Heights. He is a prominent Syrian filmmaker whose films garnered him international recognition. Malas is among the first auteur filmmakers in Syrian cinema. Malas worked as a school teacher between 1965 and 1968 before moving to Moscow to study filmmaking at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK). During his time at VGIK he directed several short films. After his return to Syria Malas started working at the Syrian Television. There he produced several short films including Quneitra 74, in 1974 and al-Zhakira (The Memory) in 1975. -
1 Cinematic Friendships: Intercessors, Collectives, Perturbations
1 Cinematic Friendships: Intercessors, Collectives, Perturbations Independent and experimental cinema in Arabic-speaking countries, as elsewhere, often arises from affinities, shared interests, and temporary collaborations, character- ized by fluidity and adaptability. Friendship is a useful way to think about the flexible and sometimes nonlocal relationships in which experimenting cinema and media art get made, similar to the term hubs that Thomas Burkhalter uses to analyze the Beirut music scene’s local-transnational networks.1 This chapter cannot survey all the sites for training, production, exhibition, distri- bution, and archiving of experimental media art, in the broad sense this book under- stands, for there are so many organizations. Instead I present some case studies of cinematic friendships, grounded in concepts of self-organization, metastability, pertur- bation, and individuation. The guiding question is, “Looking at the various kinds of infrastructures for experiments in Arab cinema, how can we tell which ones best sup- port and sustain an experimental and creative practice?” It’s practically a truism that top-down institutional structures are bad for creativity. It’s also usually the case that funding comes with strings and imposes unwanted criteria on creative practices. But rather than reject institutions and outside influence out of hand, this chapter examines how creative practice individuates under the influence of these structures. Does it pro- duce more interesting connections? Does its output become more rewarding, more complex? Similarly, though I begin with the assumption, based on observation, that local organizations are best at nurturing creativity, I don’t want to fetishize the local. Friendship, an Emergent Form of Organization The most radical understandings of friendship cast it as a corrosive force.
