This program presents a series of seven short films from the Arab Gulf, also known as the Khaleej.
Curated by Hind Mezaina, Bayn Al Khaleej (between the gulf) aims to examine and shed light on films from a region that is often underrepresented in cinema. The films address changing landscapes and traditions, collective and individual representation, and societal anxieties, all played out through drama, satire, and fantasy.
Following the screenings, join us for a conversation between Hind Mezaina and NYUAD faculty Alia Yunis about the films, their role as social critique, and forms of representation and expression through cinema.
This event runs in parallel with The NYUAD Art Gallery’s current exhibition, Khaleej Modern, on view until December 11, 2022.
All films are screened in Arabic with English subtitles.
A curator-led tour of Khaleej Modern will be offered prior to the event at 6pm.
