Arab Film Nights

Arabian Film Nights is an initiative by the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival, offering a carefully curated program of films every month that provide a glimpse into the Arab world, hosted in a setting reflecting the atmosphere of Arab culture. This initiative not only provides a platform for viewing films but also creates space for in-depth discussions with experts on the themes and stories portrayed in each film. By sharing stories that provide insight into Arab culture and experiences, we aim to bridge the gap between two cultures and promote a better understanding.

We invite everyone to explore these stories with us in a modest setup that highlights the diversity and complexity of the Arab world. Our goal is to share the versatility of Arab cinema and celebrate the unique stories it has to offer. Come and discover with us the personal stories that provide a fresh perspective on the Arab world every month.

This month, we are screening '2 Days'. “Yomein” (2 Days) by Syrian director Basel Al-Khatib, starring the celebrated Syrian star Duraid Lahham, tells a compelling and profound story that explores the resilience of the human spirit in times of crises and wars.

Yomein encapsulates the enduring strength of the human spirit to remain united and forward-looking, even under the most discouraging conditions. Duraid Lahham, known for his extensive experience and powerful screen presence, brings the emotions and journey of his character to life with authenticity and depth, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in every moment of anticipation and longing the characters endure.

The film delves into the human spirit’s inherent adaptability and quest for joy, even in the darkest moments.
