The annual Arab Film Festival opens with a gala Thursday night that kicks off a weekend of movies at the Arab American National Museum.
The fest shows feature-length films made by Arab filmmakers from around the world. Most films focus on topics of particular interest to our large Arab American community, but according to the AANM, they are accessible to audiences of all backgrounds.
Many of the films scheduled this weekend are rarely screened commercially in U.S. theaters. However, one film in particular has garnered a lot of stateside attention. “Garbage Dreams” (see the above clip) has made the Academy Awards short-list and has received raves at the Sundance and South By Southwest Film Festivals.
