CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 2019 Arab Film Fest
Biographical Info
TWIN CITIES ARAB FILM FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 26-29, 2019
Mizna’s Twin Cities Arab Film Festival (TCAFF) is seeking films for the upcoming festival scheduled for September 26-29, 2019. We are accepting narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated films, both features and shorts. We seek films made by Arab or Arab American filmmakers or films relevant to these communities.
The Arab Film Fest is produced by Mizna, a St. Paul-based arts organization committed to bringing the best Arab cinema, literature, and art to Twin Cities audiences. Beginning in 2003, Mizna’s festival has screened numerous Arab and Arab American titles and hosted many acclaimed filmmakers to present their work and engage with our local communities. The Arab Film Fest will celebrate its 14th festival this upcoming fall.
The Arab Film Fest aims to exhibit films made by and about Arabs and also about non-Arabs living in the Arab world. With few exceptions, the festival screens Minnesota theatrical premieres and is presented in collaboration with various Twin Cities organizations, like the Film Society of Minneapolis/St. Paul.
