Sharjah Art Foundation and Habibi Collective present three films by MENA female directors. Venturing into diasporic, collective and inherited memories, the films attempt to narrativise a series of uprooted experiences.

Sharjah Art Foundation presents a series of online film screenings in collaboration with Habibi Collective, a digital film archive that celebrates the work of female filmmakers from the Middle East and North Africa. Taking place on 29 May, 12 June and 26 June 2020, the screenings feature award-winning short and feature-length narrative, documentary and experimental films by female artists from the Arab world. The second programme of films, Ghosts of Songs: Oral Histories in MENA Female Cinema, screens on 12 June.
