Launched in 1996, the festival marks its 30th anniversary this year with a program of 51 films.
The festival opened on November 5 at San Francisco's AMC Kabuki 8 with the Bay Area premiere of El Sett, Marwan Hamed's portrait of Umm Kulthum, the Arab world's most iconic singer. Before the film, producer Mohamed Hefzy received the inaugural AFMI Luminary Award for Cultural Impact; after the screening, the Aswat Ensemble performed a live tribute to Umm Kulthum's music. The November 8 centerpiece presentation was Edward Said: Between Worlds.
