Arab experiences focus of film festival offerings

Award-winning films depicting the diverse, daily lives of Arabs and Arab Americans comprise the offerings of a Detroit-area film festival. 

The 14th Arab Film Festival runs from June 7-16 in Detroit, Ann Arbor and Dearborn's Arab American National Museum, which presents the festival. 

It includes Michigan premieres and prize-winners from several film festivals, including Sundance and Cannes. Selections include "Capernaum," ''Yomeddine," ''Sofia," and "Dunya's Day." 

All films are subtitled in English. Festival curator Dave Serio says in a release, that each film presents the U.S. or global Arab experience "in its truest, purest form."
