Arab Cinema Week @ Cinema Akil

Arab Cinema Week @ Cinema Akil


From Oct 06 - 15, explore the intricate threads of “human bonds” - our theme for this year’s volume, showcasing 11 features & 4 shorts, many presented by their makers!

 


Curated by Rabih El-Khoury, this program delves into the impact of norms, customs, and love on our identities and relationships. From tales of love in challenging circumstances to powerful discussions with filmmakers, this festival uncovers it all.
Join us as we revisit Beirut's ever-changing landscape through the lens of talented filmmakers, from past to present. Witness the power of women in Sudan, rediscover Iraq through a filmmaker's eyes, and explore love under occupation in Palestine.
In tribute to Morocco, we screen LIFE SUITS ME WELL, a touching tale of family resilience. Arab Cinema Week reflects on significant events in the Arab world, connecting audiences through the art of filmmaking.
