Arab Film Festival Australia aims to showcase stories from Arabic-speaking peoples to diverse Australian audiences through film, reflecting the complexity and diversity of Arab experiences. A primary aim is to address the (mis)representations of Arab peoples and cultures by providing critical spaces to present alternative representations of Arab subjects, cultures and narratives. As a community-managed cultural event, the Festival supports freedom of thought, expression and information, as well as diversity of screen media to enable cultural expressions to flourish.
The Arab Film Festival started in 2001 and has since developed a number of solid partnerships both within Sydney and across the country. Over 18,000 people have attended and experienced cinematic stories from filmmakers in Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, Jordan, Paris, Canada, UK, USA, Australia, UAE, Kuwait, Sweden and Japan.
While the Arabic language is the second most-spoken language in NSW after English (Census 2006), it retains a marginal place in the culture of the state. The Arab Film Festival fills this gap by centering the voices and visions of Arab filmmakers with a multilingual festival that brings inspired stories to life on Australian screens.
