Generational Encounters in Arab Cinema [afikra Roundtable series]

We talked to Amani Hassan (Program Director at Arab British Centre) and Rabih El Khoury (SAFAR) on the 2021 edition of SAFAR curated around the theme of Generational Encounters in Arab Cinema as part of the Shubbak Festival x  afikra Roundtable series. This collaboration between Shubbak and SAFAR will be showcasing contemporary and classic films with emergent youth, familial disparities, and societal tensions at their center.
