The American SetMuslim Film Festival Opens Its First Edition at Manhattan's SVA Theatre on Oct. 11
A new film festival devoted to Muslim stories begins Oct. 11 at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan. It is the festival's first year in New York. Organizers describe the program as a reply to the narrow, one-dimensional image of Muslims that Western media has often presented. They have announced the films selected for the opening edition and the jury that will review them. For audiences in New York, the festival brings a new cultural event to the fall film calendar and adds Muslim filmmakers' work to a Manhattan screen.
