The Sixteenth Annual Arabian Sights Film Festival returns with another exceptionally vibrant collection of new films from the Arab World. This year we are delighted to focus on Egyptian Cinema by featuring five entertaining works cutting across all genres and subjects, including the first film about the 2011 Revolution. Several directors will be present at their screenings to discuss their work. The festival will also feature films from other Arab countries. Special events will be held and an Audience Award for favorite film will be presented. All films will be screened with English subtitles. Please check back for updates on films, guests, events, and more.
