ItaliaArabia Forum Viewing:

This Thursday 1/22 at 7pm!!

In conjunction with the exhibition on view ItaliaArabia...

Come see Waiting for Pasolini (2007), selected Best Arabic Film at the 2007 Cairo International Film Festival. Directed by Daoud Aoulad-Syad, it  is a distinctly Moroccan comedy set in Ouarzazate, a Moroccan town used by countless American and European film production companies. The tiny village of Ouarzazate is turned upside down when it is announced that an Italian film crew will be arriving to shoot a film. Waiting for Pasolini will be followed by a brief discussion on the role of art in cross cultural exchange, as it relates to the film and the exhibition.

<p>I attended this section of the ItaliaArabia forum and had a great time! There was a sweet and to-the-point tour of the exhibit before we sat down to watch the film. A great intro.</p><p>The film was interesting. A multi-layered subject for conversation regarding cultral relations both seen in the story line of the movie, as well as for the viewer vs. moviemaker.</p><p>Highly recommend future events such as this!</p>
