Festival at the Schools focuses on introducing high school students to the Arab world by challenging misconceptions and stereotypes about the region through film and discussions with visiting filmmakers.
To create a meaningful forum for education and a conversation about the differences and the shared values between cultures, the 11th Annual Arab Film Festival is showing free screenings for high school students in Berkeley, San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. If your school is interested in participating, please contact schools@aff.org.
