DO YOU HAVE OLD FAMILY FILM FOOTAGE?

Arab Film Festival Australia is collecting home movies from Arab Australians with footage from the 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s that were shot on film (16mm, Super 8). It might be sitting in the back of your cupboard, in your garage, or maybe at your cousin’s house – hunt it down and contact us!

WHAT WE WILL DO WITH IT?

These films will be gathered for a collection of home movies from Arab Australians at the National Film & Sound Archives in Canberra, accessible to the public. YOU will receive a copy of your films transferred onto DVD and your actual films returned to you.

GET IN TOUCH!

If you would like to share your films with us, and are interested in having them archived for national historical purposes, contact: info@arabfilmfestival.com.au.

This project has been made possible with the kind support of the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra.
