The 13th annual Arab Film Festival Australia (AFFA) returns in 2016 with a fusion of contemporary and traditional works in Arab cinema from Australia, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Presenting seven features and one short film, the festival kicks off in Sydney from 21 to 24 July.
Waiting for the Fall is the first time a feature drama from Syria has screened in Australia. The gripping film explores how members of a small, war-torn town in Syria endeavour to maintain normality. Directed by Joud Saeed, the story follows the township’s interest in a local women’s volleyball final, while rumours of an impending air strike rage and a local photographer is taken prisoner by rebels.
