The 6th edition of the Arab Cultural Fesival in Korea

Now, a culture is not only about giving, but also about taking. This extra cultural exchange is what I like the most about Korea. A new event linking Korea to the Arab world is taking place from the 5^th to the 9^th of June 2013. It is the Arab Cultural Festival in its 6^th edition. The new about this session is the Film festival that will be included this year. In menu 9 between films and documentaries will be displayed in the Art 9 movie theater in Sadong-dong, in southern Seoul near Lsu Station.

I can recommend you the movie God’s Horses (신의 전사들) from Morocco to his director Nabil Ayouch. This was displayed during the last session of JCC (les journaux cinematographiqes de Carthage/ Carthage Film Festival) where it won the prize of International Criticism (2012) and two days ago I watched it as it came back to the Tunisian movie theaters for the European film festival taking place now in Tunisia. I liked it. It is about the 2003 Casablanca bombings. It won the 1^st prize of Seminci (Valladolid International Film Festival) in 2012 and the prize François Chalais in the section “Un certain regard” (a certain glance) of the Cannes Film Festival, 2012.

At second level, I recommend the battle of Algeria (알제리 전투) which is a documentary and the Tunisian Militants (투사들) which is also a documentary. 

For more infos about the festival, you may drop by the official web site of the festival. (where everything is surprisingly in Korean o.O).
According to KBS World Radio Arabic, the festival will also be taking place in Busan where Arabic movies will be displayed starting the 25th to the 30th of June.
