We are an independent film collective that produces documentaries, educational material, video installations, and other audio-visual content related, but not limited to, the Middle East. It is a subsidiary of the Arab Studies Institute, the source of research that informs our films and activities.

A 20-minute multi-media film that combines lecture, animation, typography, and footage from Palestine is the centerpiece of this pedagogical project. Its other components include a teaching guide for instructional purposes, a bibliography for research purposes, and a compendium of Jadaliyya articles featured in what we call a Jad Mag. All of these elements are housed on the project’s own website, which is part of a larger research project on Palestine headed by the Forum on Arab and Muslim Affairs at the Arab Studies Institute.
