Cinema: Celebrate Pride: Arab Love

Arab Love is AFMI’s annual program focused on sharing the stories of the LGBTQ+ Arab community around the world.

This year’s selection of short films explores the complicated nature of gender and sexuality in relationships, and the pressure young queer people experience across the Arab world to act a role that is in inauthentic to their true selves.

Films included:

• Ya Benti by Anissa Allali
• Sahbety (My Girl Friend) by Kawthar Younis
• Cousins by Karina Dandashi
• Conditional Desire by Houcem Slouli
• Eitr by Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller

Available online starting today, June 17th, through June 30th. Pay what you can to get access.

Please note that this program is only available in the USA.
