Arabisk filmfest er en liten festival, men med et stort hjerte og drives i stor grad på dugnad. Vi ønsker at alle skal ha muligheten til å delta, så derfor har vi innført forskjellige priskategorier slik at man kan delta, uansett økonomi.

Arabisk filmfest is an annual festival held in Bergen that showcases internationally recognized and award-winning films from and about the Arab region. We aim to highlight diverse classic and mainstream films that contribute to a more inclusive and representative film culture. Through various genres such as drama, comedy, thrillers, and documentaries, the festival provides a unique insight into a culture and a world that Western audiences often only see through the news. 

In addition to the films, the festival offers panel discussions, safe spaces to discuss films, opportunities to savor Arabic music and food together, and a range of experiences meant to engage and inspire attendees and create a sense of community and inclusion.

The Arab Film Festival is organized in collaboration with Cinemateket I Bergen.
