The 18th Arab World Film Festival opened this Thursday (31) at Cinesesc in São Paulo. The first screening was ‘Mother Valley,’ in which women in a Lebanese village endure the reality of the local patriarchy, the 1958 conflict, and the desire for freedom.
After two years solely in an online format, film screenings are also taking place in person again in the capital of São Paulo. Festival organizers and supporters spoke at the opening this Wednesday (31).
