Arab Cinema Weekend 2007 @ BAFTA
30 March - 1 April

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) is hosting a showcase of the best in contemporary Arab cinema from 30 March - 1 April. Organised by Zenith Foundation and hosted by the Academy at 195 Piccadilly, the event features the best of recent films from across the Arab world, including Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria and Morocco.

Following on from last year's successful event, the 2nd BAFTA Arab cinema weekend will shine a light on the diverse creativity amongst filmmakers in the Arab world. With the region so prevalent in today's media landscape, more often than not through reporting on wars and conflicts, events such as this offer audiences invaluable insight into the creativity and concerns of the region.

Zenith is delighted to announce that the event will be held with the support of the European Union in the framework of the Euromed Audiovisual II programme.

YallaLondon! is pleased to help Zenith launch the Arab Cinema Weekend @ BAFTA with a post-film party on 30 March 2007. The party will take place in the exclusive surrounds of the David Lean Room at BAFTA from 10pm - midnight and feature MazaJ Sound System! (£10)
