The 2007 New York Arab and South Asian Film Festival [1] begins this weekend.
The “NYASAFF” will include award-winning documentaries, shorts, and full feature films.
Organizers say the festival–which runs from February 23rd through March 4th–makes sense, given “the historical and cultural affinities between these geographic regions, as well as the contemporary political landscape.”
