Arab American National Museum (AANM) Arab Film Festival is proud to recognize and elevate amazing filmmakers who are coming onto the scene and making a huge impact! Believe it or not, these films are the first creations for these directors. These films focus on a wide variety of topics but are all beautifully created. Whether we're in need of that Arab American superhero to fight Islamophobia, making difficult choices to care for our family, cultivating new beginnings back in our homeland or emerging as an entrepreneur, these films are brought to life by emerging filmmakers, filmmakers to be aware of.
This short block of films is available for streaming to all audiences across the globe between August 12-21, 2022.
After an encounter with an Islamophobic peer goes viral, an unassuming college student serendipitously stumbles into masked vigilantism.
