Greetings friends,
The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is pleased to relaunch our in-person film series, Cinema Nights at the Museum. In partnership with Cinema Lamont, our series kicks off this Thursday, February 8th at 7 p.m. with the in-person screening of Soleil O!
The debut film from Mauritanian director Med Hondo is a bitterly funny, artistic, stylistically explosive attack on Western capitalism and the legacy of colonialism. The film follows a starry-eyed immigrant as he leaves West Africa for Paris in search of a job, but soon discovers a hostile society in which his very presence elicits fear and resentment. Hondo deploys a dizzying array of narrative and stylistic techniques to create a revolutionary landmark of political cinema and a shattering vision of awakening black consciousness.
We hope you can join us! For more information, please click the image below or visit our website here: Cinema Nights at the Museum – Soleil O
