Once again, the event relies on support from the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce. It will feature 24 movies divided into four thematic sections: Arab world, Arab-Latin Dialogues, Palestinian Cinema and French-Arab Cinema.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe films portray social and cultural relationships in the Arab world from a humane perspective, approaching human dramas and breaking stereotypes,\u201d said Natalia Calfat, a member of the Festival\u2019s organizing team. \u201cThis is the unifying thread,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The featured productions deal with themes such as migration, asylum, identity, multicultural dialogue, interchange, the other\u2019s gaze, empathy and integration.<\/p>\n<p>Calfat said highlight films include \u201cWajib\u201d (trailer below), by the Palestinian filmmaker and poet Annemarie Jacir, in which an estranged father and son must get together to personally deliver the invitations for their daughter\/sister\u2019s wedding, as local tradition dictates. \u201cThis film has won multiple awards,\u201d said Calfat.
