In partnership with Romooz Foundation, the Arab Film Series is pleased to bring you an afternoon of Yemeni documentary short films, created and told through the eyes of Yemeni filmmakers (full lineup TBA). These short films showcase the impact the war in Yemen has had and continues to make on the Yemeni community throughout the world. These films uplift the voices of Yemeni filmmakers and their experiences. These are their stories. 

Following the screening will be an intimate talkback with several Yemeni filmmakers from across the world.   

This collaboration between Romooz Foundation and AANM comes together through the Museum’s Artists + Residents program, which is currently hosting Yemeni American visual artist, filmmaker and art practitioner Ibi Ibrahim. Ibrahim is the director of Romooz Foundation, an independent, non-profit foundation dedicated to support emerging Art and Literature in Yemen.
