A South Belfast community cinema is hosting Northern Ireland's first ever Arab language film festival next month.
The Ormeau Community Cinemas will be holding the event from Thursday, May 5, to Sunday, May 8, at various locations in the hopes of reconnecting people with the Arab world and its culture.
Festival director Rabie Mustapha moved to Belfast in 2020 from Lebanon and said that his involvement with the cinema has helped him settle in the city and connect with other people, and hopes that this festival will help others do the same.
