Oct 24th, Wheeler Auditorium UC Berkeley Campus 
Welcome to the 8th Annual Cinemayaat, the Arab Film Festival, an internationally recognized festival dedicated to providing the San Francisco Bay Area community with a unique opportunity to screen films from and about the Arab World - a world often misunderstood and misrepresented. In contrast to mass media's frequently negative portrayal of Arab culture, the Arab Film Festival showcases in depth perspectives and stories about and by Arabs and Arab Americans in an ever more complex world. We aim to bridge a gap through artistic expression and share the experience of history, humanity, love, and life in a time where the distance between American and Arab cultures ever expands. We strive to bring the Bay Area community a program that is both stunning in artistic merit and educational - a program that brings you a magnificent perspective of the richness of the Arab World. We work very hard to keep these channels of communication open so that all may share in Art, its beauty, humanity and personal expression. We would like to recognize the numerous individuals that have helped us this year and all past years to bring such a festival to the Bay Area. We would also like to extend our gratitude to you, our audience, the reason for the continued success of our festival. Welcome and enjoy the Festival! |
