Featuring the work of visionary emerging and established Arab filmmakers, this year’s iteration of the Seattle Arab Film Festival includes a wide variety of remarkable short and feature films. Films are grouped into four themes: In the Diaspora, Youth in Focus, Family and Culture, and Strong Female Lead. Each theme includes films that are at once startling and generous, passionate and empathetic, electrifying and familiar. Through the eyes of masterful filmmakers, audiences will encounter a diversity of Arab stories, circumstances, histories, visions, and voices.

Each program is individually ticketed and is accessible any time during the festival, Aug. 29 to Sep. 1, 2020. To maximize community accessibility, all short film programs are priced on a sliding scale, $0–25.
