About CinemaEast |
|||||||||||
CinemaEast showcases an engaging selection of feature films, shorts and documentaries approaching social, cultural and political themes from the Middle East and their diaspora. Films are selected on the basis of (1) cinematic quality, (2) the film’s contribution to a diverse festival in terms of countries, issues and ideologies, (3) cinematic styles and genres that are region specific. The program features both new and older films, emphasizing on work that receives little visibility in the United States. *photo courtesy of Hamid Rahmanian |

A
Showcase of Syrian Cinema Syrian cinema is largely unknown to audiences in the US. While some films may have featured in international film festivals, never before has a program focused on the rich cinematic output of Syrian filmmakers. ArteEast is proud to offer American audiences a unique opportunity to discover and engage with this vibrant and diverse cinema by curating a traveling show, beginning in May 2006, featuring an array of features, documentaries and short films by the country's most celebrated filmmakers and emerging independent young talents. The program is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of Syrian cinema, bringing forward the cinematic vocabulary of a national cinema to which the world has rarely granted its attention. (more...) The first event in the tour, presented
by The Film Society of Lincoln Center and
ArteEast, is titled
The Road to Damascus: Discovering Syrian Cinema, and is due
to run from May 5th to the 18th, at the Walter Theater. |
