07:00 AM » CinemaEast Film Festival 2007

Celebrating the Independent Spirits of Filmmakers from the Middle East, North Africa, and their Diasporas.

November 8 - 15, 2007

Recognized around the world for being a premier venue for bringing cinematic voices from the Middle East, North Africa and their Diasporas to international crowds, the 2007 CinemaEast Film Festival selections continue to break new artistic and political ground. Culled from over 250 submissions, the festival program illustrates the diversity and artistic vibrancy of veteran, emerging and independent filmmakers, and showcases 12 features, 22 documentaries (long and short), and 18 shorts representing15 countries.

In a time of increased turmoil and misunderstanding about these regions, the 2007 CinemaEast Festival is more timely than ever. Breaking stereotypes and misconceptions, the film selections will provide rare opportunities for dialogue with filmmakers, actors and artists; building bridges through culture and art.
