Mizna @ Home: Virtual Cinema Series May 2020

Film Fest now VIRTUAL! Livestream films @ home May 13: Speed Sisters May 20-26: Tiny Souls May 27: Sudanese Shorts

We are pleased to announce the virtual availability of notable films from Mizna's Arab Film Festival, thanks to a partnership with Mizna and SooVAC and the generosity of the film directors. These films were originally planned for in-person screenings at the Cultural Center during March/April 2020, but were postponed due to COVID-19. We have since been working with our partners to make them available to our rural MN audiences at home during the closure. We would like to thank Mizna for making this virtual film festival a reality!

Thanks to our Partners

This series was originally slated to take place here at the Cultural Center, as part of Let There Spaces in Your Togetherness. We thank our partners at Mizna and SooVAC for embracing flexibility and creative problem solving with us during these difficult times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
