Contemporary Arab Cinema at BAM (New York City)

From July 9-17, BAM presents its annual Contemporary Arab Cinema series.

This year’s Contemporary Arab Film Series spotlights a region still reckoning with the weight of its past and the uncertainty of its future. In Syria, after 55 years, the long shadow of the Assad regime has lifted. Lebanon inches towards reform with a new President and cabinet. In Gaza and Sudan war rages on, a relentless crisis with no clear end in sight. From these shifting landscapes come a vital selection of films—not just about survival, but also about agency, identity, and imagination.
