Still Playing: a film about different point of view of Palestine.
by Mohammad Mosbah
We were invited to screen Still Playing at Amiens Jail in France as part of the cultural activity
They asked me to take off my Kufiya claming its religious symbol
I explained it’s part of my culture worn by people regardless of their religion
I refused to take it off & the screening was cancelled

And to the DiGRA Board especially Ashley Guajardo & Yekta Kalantar thank you for creating space for voices from Palestine
It was a true honor to give the keynote at DiGRA 2025 at the University of Malta.
The audience was deeply moved, some in tears and many asked: “What can we do to help Palestine?”
That question alone meant so much.

I usually watch videos, tutorials, and talks at 2x speed, But for this one, I watched it at 0.7x
Yes, it’s that important if you're in this industry.

Wonderful interview by @zaidkriel.bsky.social over at South Africa's IGN franchise, IGN ZA. Still having a fading hope that IGN International or Gamespot will share the story eventually too - for now, I'd appreciate if y'all went and read this.

Our own @zaidkriel.bsky.social spoke with Palestinian indie Dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about his new game, Dreams on a Pillow, the tale of the 1948 Nakba. Are video games the right space for this kind of story? Rasheed thinks so.
My first feature of 2025 & it was a real struggle. Got major anxiety writing this worried I would get the story wrong, sound biased, get the wrong attention from the wrong people. But it's here now and I hope it helps. Please share. Thank you @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social for trusting me with this.
