NYU Abu Dhabi’s CinemaNa series returns

The CinemaNa series, hosted by the Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi, returns for its fifth year and will feature online conversations and screenings by prominent filmmakers from the Arab world.

The series is presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Programme in partnership with Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi and The Arts Center.

The first instalment brings Syrian filmmaker Mohamad Malas and Abu Dhabi filmmaker Nezar Andary together for an online conversation (in Arabic with English translation) on Oct. 4 at 7.30pm.

Apart from that, three films will be available for on-demand viewing until Oct 10: two of Malas’ works, The Night (Al Leil), Passion (Bab el Maqam), and Nezar Andar’s documentary portrait of Malas, Unlocking Doors of Cinema.
