Our mission is to shine a light on Palestine and the Arab World's issues, as sometimes, here in the so called West, we seem to be very distant from that world, even though we are - actually - so close.
The Arab World has been a precarious geopolitical scenario for many years now; for this reason we feel, as Palestine-Sardinia Friendship Association, to have the duty of trying to show to our Sardinian audience (and more) what is like to live, resist and make art in the Arab countries, in order to overcome fear, which often leads to fuel stereotypes, prejudice and intolerance.
Over the years, Al Ard has become one of the most popular film festivals about the Arab World in Southern Europe, which is a very point of pride for us organisers, as all of us are volunteer members of Associazione Amicizia Sardegna Palestina.
