Arpa International Film Festival.
Since 1997, Arpa International Film Festival has been dedicated to cultivating cultural understanding and global empathy, aiming to create 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. The festival also celebrates the ideals of independent thought, artistic vision, cultural diversity and social understanding.
