São Paulo – The Arab World Film Festival has been extended until September 27 on its own online platform. The new date will match the previously scheduled one on the festival’s other platform, Sesc Digital. This year, the event is featuring Arab films shown in past editions as well as premieres.
The Sesc platform will feature the premiere of the Lebanese film “1982” this week. On the 21st next week, it will feature “Selves and Others, a Portrait of Edward Said.” The movies available on the Festival’s proprietary platform are “The Desert Trilogy” (Wanderers of the Desert, The Dove’s Lost Necklace, and Bab’Aziz: The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul, pictured above), “Selves and Others, a Portrait of Edward Said,” “Dunia,” “Encounter Point,” “Budrus,” Naila and the Uprising,” Sobre Futebol e Barreiras” and “Los Caminos del Mascate.”
The show is hosted by the Institute of Arab Culture (ICArabe), Sesc São Paulo and CineSesc, with sponsorship from the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and support from Instituto do Sono and the Federation of Muslim Associations in Brazil (Fambras).
