New York’s Tribeca Film Festival is starting this month and five Arab films will be screened amongst hundreds of international submissions.

 

Running from 9th-20th June, Tribeca Film Festival will be in its 20th edition and similar to the way such events have been running since the outbreak of COVID-19, the event will host both physical in-person and virtual experiences. The festival will celebrate a plethora of documentaries, video games, films, podcasts and more.

 

More importantly, the five films from the Arab world set to be featured at the week-long festival include “Souad,” the film that will open the SAFAR Film Festival in London next month. These are the films we’ll be watching out for at the Tribeca Film Festival:
