Event Details
An Evening of Love and Laughter: Arab Cinema Under the Stars
A FREE Outdoor Screening at The PROXY, Hayes Valley Neighborhood, San Francisco
For the first time ever, the Arab Film Festival celebrates its 30 year anniversary by taking cinema outdoors! Join us under the stars for Spices and Lies (La Petite Cuisine de Mehdi), directed by Amine Adjina, and starring Hiam Abbas, a delightful French-Algerian romantic comedy served with love, laughter, family dynamics, cultural identity, and, of course, food. Who can miss that!
Grab a Jeeroz warm Shawarma and hot cajun fries or savor golden sweet Kunafa from SimSim Kunafa, as we enjoy a story that reminds us how much we have in common, no matter what language we speak.
Imagine the magic of a European film festival, think Piazza Grande at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland; or the Tribeca Film Festival in New York with their outdoor screening at the Hudson Yards, where cinema brings people together under the night sky. Do you remember the communal spirit of Cinema Paradiso: a lively plaza , a big screen beneath the stars and a community gathering to share the joy of film. On Thursday, November 12th at 7:30pm, you and yours can experience that magic right here in the heart of Hayes Valley in San Francisco!
Bring your friends, your colleagues and your family and find your spot, and enjoy an evening of a foreign film, delicious street food, and shared laughter with love.Free admission. Great food. The Arab Film Festival Under the Stars.
