Arab Film Festival Australia proudly represents diversity in arts and culture and this year’s bill offers insight into how religion can impact love and relationships, as well as the struggles and sometimes humorous side of customs meeting modernisation.
A screening of the Assad Fouladkar directed Halal Love will launch the festival – a warming and witty film capturing the humour in faith and relationships. Cult comedy film Bennesbeh Labokra, Chou? will feature on the second day while special showings of the Salim Abu Jabal directed Roshmia, short-film Home and adventure love story El Clasico will close out the Melbourne leg of the festival.
The festival will also travel to Sydney, Canberra and Perth with the latter being a completely new screening location.
