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.
