The San Diego Arab Film Festival is back for 2025 with live, in-person presentations of feature length and short films at the Museum of Photographic Arts. The festival will open on Friday, April 4, and present 8 screenings, each showcasing one feature film and one short film (except for one that has 2 shorts), from across the Arab World. Each evening, the festival will also offer cafeteria-style Arabic dinner. This year we have decided to emphasize films from or about countries that are under attack: Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Our opening and closing night features are from Palestine (including the Academy Award winner No Other Land), and each screening includes a short film from or about Palestine–including a powerful film about Gaza submitted by a filmmaker in Iran. The Festival also includes films from Egypt and Tunisia, both of which were submitted to the Oscars in the International Film category, and one from Algeria, a docu-drama about Frantz Fanon set at the beginning of the Algerian revolution. We are excited to bring these films to the San Diego community! Tickets are on sale now, with individual screenings at $15 (discounted to $12 for students), 3-ticket packages for $40 and Festival passes for all 8 screenings for $80. Arabic dinners will be available each evening for $18. Online ticket sales close the morning of the event. Tickets will be available at the door until sold out.

Corinne Bailey Rae first captured hearts worldwide in 2006 with her breakout hit "Put Your Records On," a breezy, soulful anthem that became an instant classic. Her self-titled debut album cemented her as a standout voice in contemporary R&B and jazz-infused pop, earning her Grammy nominations and a devoted global fanbase. Known for her warm, honeyed vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Corinne’s music has always been a blend of elegance, emotion, and effortless cool. Now, with "Black Rainbows," Corinne Bailey Rae takes an electrifying leap into bold new territory. This is Corinne like you’ve never seen or heard before—raw, experimental, and unapologetically powerful. Inspired by the history and artwork of Chicago’s Stony Island Arts Bank, the album fuses punk energy, avant-garde textures, and soul-stirring storytelling, marking a dramatic evolution in her artistry. "Black Rainbows" is a fearless reinvention, proving that Corinne Bailey Rae is not just an artist of nostalgia, but one constantly pushing the boundaries of sound and expression.
