Arab cinema seeks breakthrough

Quote:
Arab films have been nominated for awards across the world in the past 12 months, but mainstream cinemas in London or New York have not been showing them.



Now, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has backed an Arab cinema weekend in London with the belief that such films can change Western perspectives of the Middle East.

About time.

Does anybody know the Afghan movie wherein the tribesmen pursue the solitary Russian tank throughout the entire film ? I'd like to know what it's called.

Re: Arab cinema seeks breakthrough

People are always blaming the West for our lack of understanding their culture. But, it goes both ways. Do the majority of Arabs undestand American or European culture? From what I read from people across the globe--they get their impressions and views of Americans from stupid sitcoms and movies.

The only way to show others the good of your culture is to eliminate the biased media and visit the culture for yourself.
