The Annual Arab Film Festival
Description
In collaboration with the Arab American National Museum and the Flint Institute of Arts, the AAHC will be hosting the annual Film Festival featuring two short films and a discussion followed by a featured film.
The following films will be shown:
The Insult (Feature) : "In today's Beirut, a civilian dispute blown out of proportion finds Tony (Adel Karam), a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser (Kamel El Basha), a Palestinian refugee, facing off in court. As the media circus surrounding the case threatens a social explosion in divided Lebanon, Tony and Yasser reconsider their values and beliefs as revelations of trauma complicate their understanding of one another."
Searching Skies (Short) : "When a Syrian refugee family is invited to a Christian family's house for Christmas dinner, they are caught between opposing viewpoints for and against their presence -- until an unexpected event suddenly occurs."
Rupture (Short) : "Rupture follows the journey of four Arab teens on their quest to find the local public pool in their new Canadian city. Introducing a cast of first time actors and survivors of war who channel their personal experiences of loss and new beginnings through a fictional narrative."
