In the lead up to the U.S. presidential election, when fear-mongering about immigrants, Arabs, and Muslims is politically expedient, Mizna proudly presents the 11th Twin Cities Arab Film Festival—a chance to see thoughtfully curated films from Arab and Arab American filmmakers.

Premiere Sponsors: The Bush Foundation, Left Tilt Fund, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Minnesota State Arts Board.
