Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year and celebrates the return of the light as each day becomes longer until the Summer Solstice in June. As this long night approaches, we’ll gather to light our Solstice candles and write our way into the dark. Inspired by the spirit of the Winter Solstice and celebrations both ancient and new, we’ll explore legends and myths that surround the ancient festival and create our own celebration with ritual and writing. Bring your notebook or laptop for writing and a candle to light as your personal reminder of the return of the light.

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.
