Experience The Magic of Arab Cinema!
Arabian Film Nights, an initiative by the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival, offers a curated monthly film program that provides a glimpse into the Arab world, hosted in an atmosphere reflecting Arab culture. This initiative not only showcases films but also creates opportunities for in-depth discussions with experts on the themes and stories portrayed. By sharing these stories, we aim to bridge cultural gaps and promote better understanding.
We invite everyone to explore these stories with us in a modest setup that highlights the diversity and complexity of the Arab world. Our goal is to share the versatility of Arab cinema and celebrate the unique stories it offers.
Join us each month to discover personal stories that provide a fresh perspective on the Arab world.
