Arab cinema festival to launch in Paris

Tunisia will be part for the first time of the IMA'GIMA film festival in Paris, organised by the Arabic institution in Paris in coordination with Prod&Com. Tunisia is expected to present three short movies. Two of them are "Alaadin" by Thuraiya Sleiman and "Alash ana" (Why Me?) by Amin Shiyob. The festival will introduce Arab movies to cinema lovers over the week. This will give producers an opportunity to network and meet influential professionals in this field. The festival coincides with the celebration of the Arab World Institution's 25th anniversary. Filmmakers, journalists and cinema lovers will be able to watch  movies on social issues, chosen from a long list of participants. The festival will start September 21 and finish on September 25.
