September 28, 2004
The ARPA International Film Festival is dedicated to cultivating
cultural understanding and global empathy, creating a dynamic forum for
international cinema with a special focus on the work of filmmakers
who explore the issues of Diaspora, exile and multi-culturalism. It
also celebrates the ideals of independent thought, artistic vision,
cultural diversity and social understanding.
The film festival is produced annually by the Arpa Foundation for
Film, Music and Art (AFFMA). Founded in 1995, the non-profit AFFMA
was formed for the purpose of promoting the arts and enhancing the
cultural environment of our community, especially providing support
to filmmakers exploring subjects of social and cultural importance
through their medium.
The 2004 ARPA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL will be held between October
5-10, 2004.
This year marks the 7th festival, and once again at ArcLight
Cinemas in Hollywood. This year's festival theme is "Films Without
Borders." The festival will feature over 60 films from 20 different
countries, including the United States, France, Italy, India, Iran,
Germany, Croatia, Mexico and Armenia. Every film is displayed on an
illuminating pedestal and is aimed at drawing the audience to admire,
examine and challenge. Arpa echoes a truth that is ever present in
Los Angeles, that to love mankind during times of war is difficult,
but not impossible if only through the love of cinema.
