Events

The Arab Studies Institute (ASI) and George Mason University Middle East Program Studies, Middle East Etc. Film Club present a film screening of "The Suffering Grasses" on September 24, 2012 at 6 PM at George Mason University, Johnson Center Cinema.

About the festival:

The DC-PFAF seeks to showcase the work of Palestinian filmmakers and more generally, to promote the richness of Palestinian Arab culture through cinema, music, and other forms of visual arts. The stories that will be told in this festival are not necessarily about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, nor are they necessarily stories about Palestinians, but they are stories that reflect the dynamic formation of a transnational identity common to Palestinians and diasporic communities in general.  Beyond that, this project aims to bring DC's various communities closer together through art, and catalyze invigorating discussions about film and culture using the lens of Palestinian filmmakers as an entry point.
