Arab Women in the Arts is an annual showcase to honor generations of Arab women who have excelled in and revolutionized all forms of artistic expression.
This year’s event will celebrate the works of pioneering Tunisian filmmaker Moufida Tlatli. As with every year, the aim of this event is to highlight the innovative and creative works of Arab women artists. Tlatli’s works have received international acclaim and her films are considered to be groundbreaking within the landscape of Tunisian cinema. Tlatli’s directorial debut, The Silences of the Palace, will screen on Opening Night. In addition, we will screen her two other films, The Season of Men and Nadia and Sarra.
The showcase will also feature a selection of short films from up-and-coming women filmmakers. We will also be hosting a Filmmaker Mixer in NYC, and a virtual workshop. All of the films in this program will also be made available online to audiences throughout the country.
