Congratulations to @talal.derki for the Oscar nomination 👏 "Of Fathers and Sons" is the second movie by a Syrian filmmaker to be nominated for an Academy Award after last year's "Last Men in Aleppo" . . #SyriaFilmFestival#SyrianFilms#Offathersandsons#documentries#featuredocumentary#Oscars2019#oscarsNominations#academyawards##Movies#Filmmaker#Syria#Raqqa#Aleppo#Lastmeninaleppo
CONGRATS !!! #Oscar nominated! It's official: #Capharnaum is nominated for a Best Foreign Language Academy Award. What an honor to see our film recognized by the Academy. This is an unforgettable moment for everyone who worked on the film and believed in its message. After years of hard work and dedication from every single cast and crew member, we're all in tears of joy for this significant moment for our film and Lebanese cinema overall. #OscarNoms #Oscars2019 @NadineLabaki @Mouzanar
Change in the Management of the Royal Film Commission – Jordan Following the resignation of George David, Managing Director of the Royal Film Commission – Jordan (RFC), Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, Chairman of the Board of the RFC, has requested that Princess Rym Ali takes over temporarily the management of the Commission. Princess Rym has been a member of the Board of Commissioners since 2006 and has since been heavily involved in the activities and the development of the institution. She will be heading the RFC until a new Director is appointed.

@themanbehindthemic is a family journey full of mystery, secrets and love. It transcends geography and cultural boundaries. Yes, #papahedi is a #Tunisian superstar but @clairelizabel quest to investigate a family history that's been concealed from her is universal. #thankyou to @clairelizabel for joining us in person @bamcinematek to share this beautifully composed incredible story. #supportarabcinema Safe journey home!
Once again we wake up @lucien_bourjeily in the middle of the night. Where in the world is he? In Hamburg where he is also screening @heaven_without_people @bamcinematek audience is completely engrossed in this family lunch that climaxes with screams, tears and compromises. “Is it a metaphor for Lebanon’s state of affairs?”; “How did you cast that amazing group of actors?”; “Was it all improv?” Thank you @lucien_bourjeily for answering all our questions and sharing your work with our audience - twice. Looking forward to watching your future work! #supportindiefilm #supportindie #supportarabcinema #lebanesecinema #film #movie #lebanon #غداء_العيد #movies #movielovers #filmlovers #indiefilm #indiefilmmaking #moviebuff #filmisnotdead #filmmaking
CLOSING NIGHT! Don't miss @sofiadjama #THEBLESSED @bamcinematek One last chance to discover an Arab director whose work might not come to your shores soon. "Writer/director Sofia Djama’s debut drama is set in Algiers in the wake of the long, brutal civil war, which lasted throughout the 1990s. Many Algerians fled the country; the ones who remain are caught between the trauma of the past, the challenges of the present, and the dashed hopes of the future. Over 24 hours, a handful of characters—a couple trying to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a night out, kids wanting to hang out with their friends—reckon with this state of affairs. But it’s not all bleak: “The Blessed is also a warm, intimately hewn drama” (Hollywood Reporter) with graceful performances. -@jbfc_pville @lynakhoudri and is distributed by @hakka_distribution #SupportArabCinema #ANA2018 #arabfilms #Algeria Buy your ticket here: https://tickets.bam.org/production/?pid=15472 #seeyoulater
EXCITING NIGHT AHEAD! Meet us at the @bamcinematek theater 2. Stack up on popcorn and journey with us from Lebanon to Tunisia. You will need the popcorn while watching @lucien_bourjeily @heaven_without_people Easter lunch. The film gives us an insight into Lebanese society in a way that we can all relate to: through food and family dynamics. @clairelizabel also dives into family history. Her documentary about a Tunisian musical superstar is altogether a docudrama and family album that will leave you intrigued and filled with questions about your own family. @clairelizabel @themanbehindthemic will be in attendance to answer your questions. Show her what #Brooklynlove really means. See you tonight! #daybeforelast #lebanesecinema #tunisiancinema
@sahim_omar_kalifa_official is back in Belgium. In time to join us for a Q&A at 3AM his time! "How does he, as a filmmaker, perceive the changes that have taken place in Kurdistan in the last 20 years?" asks a fellow Kurd who grew up a few miles away from Sahim..."Thank you for making a film altogether so personal yet so universal," states the woman whose grandmother came from Jamaica...."This is a story about honor killings told from the point of view of the man," shares Sahim. We exit. "Was the dog hurt?" asks a young girl. "No," replies @linagm. "He is a superstar in his country. Nobody would dare do anything bad to him." #thankyou #skype @bamcinematek
#TONIGHT One night only @bamcinematek . In 2013 Variety chose #MerzakAllouache as his Middle East Filmmaker of the Year. "He is," they wrote, "the cinematic face of Algeria, the most recognizable son of that nation’s film industry and an establishment gadfly ever since his feature debut in 1976." INVESTIGATING PARADISE - 9/24 at 8PM - mixes documentary and fiction. In this film, Allouache "...asks a range of fellow Algerians—educated and older, less educated and younger—about their views of what happens in the afterlife. There’s a particular interest in a dangerous, alluring promise that’s made to recruit young men to jihad: that martyrs for Islam will each be received in paradise by 72 beautiful virgins. Interweaving documentary interviews with a dramatized black-and-white road trip around the country, Allouache has made an original work that is “both chilling in its implications and heartening in presenting intelligent Algerians who see clearly through the propaganda” (Hollywood Reporter). #Algeria #islam #merzackallouache #algeria @salima_abada #SupportArabCinema #ANA2018 #arabfilms #arabfilmseries #Brooklyn #NewYork
