Arab Film Fest opens January 24

From the press release:

 

"Mideast Film Biz Forged in Cauldron" (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118063673/?refCatId=19) was the headline in the Dec. 17, 2012 edition of the entertainment journal Variety, on a report about the burgeoning Arab World film industry and how it’s being affected by the Arab Spring uprisings.

 

 Fans of Arabic-language movies and adventurous filmgoers seeking new perspectives can experience this phenomenon for themselves when recent films from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Qatar and UAE get rare U.S. screenings during the 2013 Arab Film Festival at the Arab American National Museum, 13624 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, Mich. Jan. 24-26, 2013. While most titles are in Arabic, all films include English subtitles, making them accessible to a general audience.
