PREFACE
Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) is proud to host
the 2nd Sydney Arab Film Festival.
In the current political climate, under which negative
stereotypes of Arabs once again circulate in abundance,
this cultural event provides a space for diverse audiences to
constructively engage with films focusing on the Arab world
and diaspora. In New South Wales, Arabic is the second
most spoken language after English, and yet Arabic selfexpression needs a much higher profile within Australian
film and television culture.
Supporting and promoting dialogue in the arena of
cultural production is central to ICE’s work with grassroots communities. The Festival fills an enormous gap
in Sydney’s cultural landscape. In recent years, ICE has
worked with artists, emerging communities and Arabic
young people to develop new work in digital arts and
multimedia. We are committed to supporting the Festival in
becoming a sustainable and independent entity.
The mountains of Lebanon, the shores of Algiers, the
timeless gaze of unrequited love, the melancholic rip of
having two homelands, dancers in Palestine, the lyrical
sound of Oud, the secret joy of forbidden love, the bridges
of Alexandria, a mother’s anguish, a father’s pride, a village
lost to borders. All at the 2nd Sydney Arab Film Festival as we
explore the intricate world of Arab Cinema over 2 jam-packed
weekends at Campbelltown Arts Centre, Riverside Theatres,
Parramatta, Hoyts Bankstown from Saturday 26 November Sunday 4 December. We had a great time tenderly choosing the
film programme... please JOIN US! Ahlan wa sahlan!
Festival Co-ordinators - Fadia Abboud & Anna Cominos
About Us
The aim of the Sydney Arab Film Festival is to showcase
stories emerging from diverse Arabic speaking cultures to all
Australian audiences that reflect the complexity and diversity
of Arab experiences. Furthermore we aim to address the
(mis)representations of Arab culture through film by providing
critical spaces and give exposure to alternative representations
of Arab culture, Arab commentary and self-representation.

FESTIVAL GREETING
AL HODOUD (BORDERS)
JAMMIN’UNDER THE STARS
1987 | Syria | 100 mins
Featuring Dorade Lahham as Abdel Wadud
and Raghda as Sodfeh
Written by Mohammad Al Maghout
XROADS - Your Gone • Le Pacour • Judging Amir
This is a not-to-be missed event of the Sydney Arab Film
Festival – designed to bring everyone together for a serious
laugh in these absurd times! Bring your family and friends,
share vintage Arab comedy and talk across the aisles after
the film!
Al Hodoud (Borders) is a much-loved comedy classic and
a timeless political satire, made almost 20 years ago. The
Sydney Arab Film Festival gives you the opportunity to
re/discover how this great work speaks to us today. From
the moment we meet Abdel Wadud on the road with his
painted-up yellow car, we are on an ironic ride through
scenarios and dialogues that resonate with realities of 2005,
whether in the Arab World or in Australia.
Movie goers coined Lahham as “the Arabic Charlie Chaplin”.

Dir: Hala Khalil

Hadi is walking in the night;

marry, when Reem dressed
as a boy in her attempt
to runaway from home
jumps and falls in his arms.
Immediately he realises that
he is holding a girl who will
take him in an improvised
journey, made of humor,
mystery and surprisingly of

and sweet emotions.
THE DOOR TO THE SUN MA
Palestine to Lebanon | 2004 | 278 Mins | Dir: Yousry Nasrallah
In the beginning was Palestine, just when the story of Younes’
life began. Younes sometimes went under the name of Abou
Salem, sometimes the Man and some other times Ibrahim’s
father.
This was also when the story of his wife Nahila began – she
became his bride at the age of 12, she was to breast-feed their
first baby during the exhausting walks as she fled with the
other villagers towards the North and left behind their burntdown house.
He would visit her in Bab El Chams, a cave in Galilee and tell
her about Saladin and Nasser and Nahil believed his tales.
This was also the story of Younes’ father, Cheikh Ibrahim, the
old blind man who knew where the sun stood just by the smell
of the trees lining the exile roads. This was also the story of
Doctor Khalil, forsaken by his own mother in the confusion of
the refugee camps. And this was the story of Chams, whom
Khalil loved and who was executed by her comrades-in-arms.
This was the story of the Palestinians, driven forcefully from the
camps in Galilee to the camps in Lebanon, enduring fifty years
of hardship, of hope and of love.
