SUMMARY:The Knight and the Princess (2019) - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a true 7th century knight\, the story follows the adventures of Mohammed Bin Alkassim with a fictional twist. At the young age of 15\, he could not accept the concept of impossible and took it upon himself to save women and children who were abducted by pirates in the Indian sea. This seemingly simple quest would be the first of many experiences that shaped the great leader he would later become. Ready to take on the tyrant king Daher as a more experienced 17-year-old\, Mohammed Bin Alkassim once again leaves his hometown Basra\, Iraq\, with his lifelong friend Zaid\, and his mentor\, Abu Alaswad\, on a mission to free Sind. \nDuring one of his battles\, he happened to save a young lady from the land of Sind – Princess Lubnah. It is the love story of “The Knight and The Princess.” \nOn the behest of his King Daher\, a sorcerer attempts to control two funny yet mischievous jinn characters in order to keep Al Kassim off the path of the land of Sind. \nThe back and forth power struggle escalates into an epic encore of a war with battle-tested elephants\, hundreds of horses\, and the fight against good and evil. \nThe story is dramatized with an original score and 5 original songs. The voices of the characters are brought to life by well-known Egyptian actors. \nRun time: 1 hr 36 minutes

SUMMARY:Mirrors of Diaspora (2018) - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mirrors of Diaspora is a multi-character story of seven Iraqi artists with more than forty years of exile\, creativity\, alienation\, memories\, nostalgia\, survivals\, and war between them. \nOn the 15th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq\, Mirrors of Diaspora explores themes of exile\, creativity\, identity and war told through the lives of seven Iraqi artists living outside the country of their birth for close to half a century. The artists featured in this documentary belong to a group known as ‘Iraqi Artists in Exile’. \nFilmed over three decades\, this ambitious project explores their challenges\, failures and successes\, both as artists and in their private lives: from the time they graduated from art school in the 1970s\, working as street artists in the piazzas of Rome and Florence\, to becoming well-known. The central question the film poses is: what are the consequences of spending most of one’s life in exile? \nAt a time of unprecedented global migration when barely a day passes without a tragic story played out in the international media\, Mirrors of Diaspora contributes to greater understanding of one of the defining issues of our time. \n~90 minute run time

SUMMARY:Movie: 1982 - San Diego Arab Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:1982 (2019)\n\nIn June of 1982\, Israel invaded Lebanon\, which was already reeling from its ongoing civil war. In his feature debut\, director Oualid Mouaness revisits this cataclysmic moment in Lebanese history through a different lens. At a private school on the outskirts of Beirut\, as the geopolitical conflict inches closer and closer\, 11-year-old Wissam (Mohamad Dalli) is more intent on finding the courage to tell his classmate he loves her. For a dreamer like Wissam\, who is more likely to be drawing than playing football\, it’s hard to comprehend the gravity of the impending violence. But for his teachers\, Yesmine (Nadine Labaki) and Joseph (Rodrigue Sleiman)\, the jets in the sky signal something greater. As they try to mask their growing fears for the sake of the students\, they also attempt to hide the fractures in their relationship\, as they fall on different sides of the political divide. Mouaness\, who also wrote the script\, splits the film between these two perspectives; that of the adults and that of the children\, to explore the complexities of love and war. —Toronto International Film Festival \nRun Time: 1 hr 40 minutes
