Arab Film Festival - June 4th-10th
In an effort to introduce Arab Culture to Korea, the Arab culture festival started in 2008. The Arab Film Festival was then launched in 2009 and this year will be the 4th ARAB film festival. Due to the outstanding pieces, the film festival has met amazing success.
As the organizers, the Korea-Arab society will screen Arab movies that were never before introduced and aims to enhance the Korean-Arab cultural exchange. At this year’s Arab Film Festival, you will be able to see pieces from 10 different countries of the “Arab world.”
There will be a total of 8 dramas and 2 documentaries. From screenings that realistically depict the lives of men, women, children, etc. to modern pieces that have been selected by the Busan Film Festival and the Dubai International Film Festival, you will be able to encounter a diverse range of exciting cinema. The film festival will show both internationally recognized pieces as well as those from “rookie directors.” To further add onto this exciting lineup, experts on Korean-Arab culture, famous cultural figures, and foreign directors will also be part of the program. All screenings and programs are free of charge.
