Please come on out for the Arab Film Festival's Shorts program, featuring the following shorts from around the world -

PIONEER HIGH - USA, DIR. Suha Araj - In 1969, Hala moves from Palestine to Michigan and attends a public high school where girls cannot wear pants.

MY OLD GRANDMOTHER - Lebanon/France, DIR. Hadi Moussally - For Myassar, days go by and blend into each other and all there is left to do is wait. A picture makes her relive memories and, little by little, her emotions begin to guide her story.

WITH THY SPIRIT - Lebanon, DIR. Karim Rahbani - Father Geryes, a priest leading a peaceful life within his monastery in Lebanon, finds himself involved in a tragic accident. Will he have enough courage and integrity to face the consequences of his actions?

MASSOUD - Lebanon, DIR. Tania Iskandar - A man stuck in a huge traffic jam in Beirut decides to transform his car into a flying vehicle to escape from this nightmare, only to find he creates an even bigger one for himself.

REVOLTANGO - Lebanon/France, DIR. Elie Kamal - Facing imminent political turmoil in the streets, an anxious couple tries to safeguard their family and peace of mind with a tango dance. But it isn't long before invading television images transmute the nature of their dance.
