We are pleased to announce the release of the second series of "Malaffat NAAS", curated by film programmer and artistic research curator Ali Al-Adawy (Wekalet Behna, Egypt).

A short summary of the series, excerpted from the editorial written by Ali Al-Adawi: 

"This series was developed as a re-launch within the framework of NAAS Network's participation in the "United Screens" project, a long-term research project concerned with studying different ways of circulating films and cinematic videos in the Global South. It asks questions we have been exposed to throughout this introduction, questions of technology, of censorship, and of archives.

This particular series focuses on questions of infrastructural and collective experience with regard to film culture in North Africa. (...) We hope that it will be a starting point towards a critical re-historicizing of Arab cinephilia and collective cinematic culture.”
