ACMI Screening of In This Together

Sunday, August 9, 2009
2:00pm - 5:00pm
Australian Centre for the Moving Image
Federation Square, cnr Swanston and Flinders streets
Melbourne, Australia

In association with ACMI, Kultour is pleased to present the Melbourne screening of In This Together, a curated video series exploring Arabness from a broad social, political and religious spectrum, aiming to address (mis)representations of Arab culture through film.

Collected over a three year period, the works cross a range of genres, showcasing stories from Arabic speaking cultures in Australia, Canada and Lebanon. This exhibition favours a pluralistic approach to conflict resolution, presenting a diversity of opinions about the Arab world and diaspora.

In This Together aims to address the misrepresentations of Arab culture by giving exposure to alternative representations of Arab culture, Arab commentary and self-representation to mainstream Australia.

The screening will be followed by a Q+A session with curator Khaled Sabsabi
