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.
