Arab Camera Festival
Arab Camera Festival Rotterdam is an artistic haven. It shows a nuanced picture of the cultural, political, social and artistic situation in Arab countries. The movies are programmed around topical themes of the Arab community in Europe. Arab Camera creates space for open dialogue about art, human rights, emancipation and political freedom in Arab countries and in Europe and specifically in the Netherlands.
For Dutch people with an Arab background, the filmfestival offers the opportunity to remain involved in the developments in the country of origin in a different way than through mass media, the mosque or their own social circle. The programming makes this an attractive filmfestival with a low threshold for urban youth who do not easily find their way into cultural events.
With special workshops and master classes taught by filmmakers from the Arab world and Europe, Arab Camera Filmfestival Rotterdam focuses explicitly on developing talent. From this perspective, there is a special program component with experimental films and new talent every year.
