AFAC Film Week 2014 at Metropolis Empire Sofil

From Mar 4 to Mar 11, 2014
Metropolis Empire Sofil

The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture presents the first AFAC Film Week which will be held in Beirut at Metropolis Cinema from March 4 until March 11. The week includes a screening of 11 films supported by AFAC over the past two years. They will all be screened in Beirut for the first time.

From Algeria to Egypt, passing through Tunisia, arriving to Palestine and off to Iraq, with Lebanon and Jordan en route, reaching as far as Yemen, these 11 films are live depictions of contemporary Arab society, with all its complex challenges of identity and cultural heritage, disintegration, revolution and inner turmoil, expressing with honesty the chaos of the present scene and the fogginess of the future.

Free Entrance

All films will be screened in the presence of the filmmakers.
All films in original language with English subtitles, except for “Chaos, Disorder” (with French subtitles).
