Marking the seventh year of the war in Yemen, 7 x 7 // 7 Artists, 7 Years is a program of short films by seven Yemeni filmmakers, that collectively push back against binary portrayals of Yemenis as victims and/or villains, and instead provide an expansive view on how Yemenis present themselves, on their own terms.
The program starts on March 19th at 7pm EST with the live stream premiering two short experimental films by Yemeni-Bosnian-U.S. multi-media artist, Alia Ali (Conflict is More Profitable Than Peace and Mahjar) followed by a dialogue + Q&A with Alia, hosted by AANM Film Curator Dave Serio.

The program of films is available to stream for 48 hours after the live stream event.
Please note that some of these films may address difficult and sensitive topics, such as war, trauma, and sexual harassment which may be triggering for some.
This program is brought to you by the Arab American National Museum, Arab Film and Media Institute, ArteEast, The Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, The Department of Art History at Pomona College, and Youth of the World Together.
