2 Days, 2 Short Films, 4 Feature Films, 200 Attendees, 8 Partners, 8 Countries, 2 Filmmaker Q&A’s

MENA debuted with the support of our friends and community sponsors, and we couldn’t do it without the partnership of the Vancouver Art Book Fair, the Emily Carr Student Union and Neighbourhood Small Grants). This will be the first chance for audiences to experience some of the premiere contemporary films from both the MENA region and the diaspora. Both fair and night at the theatre; a feast and foreshadow, we open these doors to break down walls and find common vision across geographic divides.
