FIFTH EDITION FESTIVAL CINEMA ARABE!
From the 8th until the 26th of May 2013 the fifth edition of Festival Cinéma Arabe will take place. With more than 30 feature films, documentaries and short films by international filmmakers with an Arab background, the festival presents an overview of contemporary film production from countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine and Lebanon.
In the festival programme, attention is given to films that portray the current developments in the Arab world. Special dramas, surprising debut films and discerning documentaries clarify what the demonstrations and revolutions have meant for the people there and how the Arab Spring has brought about undeniable change.
A second theme running through the programme is the perception in the West about the Arab world, and vice versa. Taboo-breaking films and intriguing documentaries give an insight into otherwise closed communities and provide a refreshing look at life and relationships within the Arab world.
In Festival Cinéma Arabe there are not only beautiful films on the programme, but also special music. At the invitation of the festival, the acclaimed duo Christian Boissel and flamenco star Rocío Márquez are coming to the Netherlands for the European premiere of the music programme Arabesques. With poems by Federico García Lorca, Boissel (piano and composition) and Márquez (vocals) will bring an ode to the Arab-Andalucian period. On 14 May they appear in the large hall of Paradiso, Amsterdam, on 15 May they perform in the Verkadefabriek and on 16 May they kick off the four-day festival in LantarenVenster, Rotterdam. Prominent music journalist Peter Culshaw labelled their performance at the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music as ‘…the highlight of the whole festival' (Songlines magazine, Aug/Sept 2012).
