As the only Arab film festival in the Upper Midwest, Mizna’s Fifth Arab
Film Festival is becoming a cultural feature of the region. This year’s
event will run from 16th to 19th October, 2008 at the historic Heights
Theatre in Minneapolis. Over 20 feature films, experimental shorts, and
documentaries will be given public screening in morning, afternoon, and
evening sessions. Themes explored include immigration and exile, war and
peace, religion and sexuality and most films will receive their Minnesota
or US premiere. Many screenings will be followed by a discussion with
panels of international Arab filmmakers and academics. The festival will
also include public receptions which will provide a gathering point for the
community to dialogue on issues related to art, life, and the Arab
condition in the US and abroad.
