about aflamuna
aflamuna (our films) is an initiative launched by a group of arab filmmakers and film institutions, led by Beirut DC. During these hard times – and hopefully long after they’ve passed – we will be bringing you some of the best, most thought-provoking and independently-minded works of contemporary Arab cinema to enjoy for free on this website for a limited time. A new issue will be released (at least) every 15 days.

Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea
2020-09-01 - 2020-12-31
Your instructor is author and scholar Wafa Ghnaim, founder of Tatreez & Tea!
Tatreez & Tea’s mission is to preserve Palestinian embroidery and storytelling traditions in the diaspora. Tatreez & Tea is the first of it’s kind. When Wafa first founded Tatreez & Tea in 2016, she was the only educator solely focused on Palestinian embroidery, traveling the US and the world. Now, new local initiatives, culture bearers, “tatreez circles”, and mentors are emerging from communities around the world like never before. The tatreez revolution has gained a beautiful momentum and now is the time to join.
Wafa’s goal in her educational classes are three-fold: educate students from art history and oral history perspectives that preserve the meanings, stories and symbolism of traditional Palestinian embroidery motifs; teach versatile skills that allow students to eventually produce large independent projects; encourage students to become creative and grow beyond simply abiding by traditional embroidery principles.

EventsAn Arab Film Festival Favorite
Screened at the 21st edition of the Arab Film Festival, October 13-22, 2017
With a tongue-in-cheek homage to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, Jeddah-based filmmaker Ayman Tamano’s found footage “mock-doc” psychological horror ghost story is nevertheless a fright for sore eyes. Set in the notoriously cursed, djinn-infested Madayen Saleh ruins in the north western sector of the Kingdom – a location that has likewise been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site – MADAYEN holds its own as a chilling, buddy movie gone wrong campfire creepfest that never hesitates to pause, from time to time, and poke fun at itself, much less the genres it so fluently draws from.
