New York Arab Festival (NYAF), in partnership with Arab Film and Media Institute and Museum of the Moving Image, is proud to present the 2023 edition’s film program. The program reflects the diverse voices from contemporary Arab filmmakers based in the U.S. or in the larger diaspora who create works that challenge how the region has historically been mapped, presented, and represented. The series of shorts includes new and emerging genres of local sci-fi stories, chronicles of radical love, fictionalized political history, and other experimental forms. It features radically poetic visionary films pushing boundaries into performance art and shorts that utilize futurist digital tools. Themes explored include imagined futures; love and loss; and home, place, and belonging.
