2026 Film Night for Arab Heritage Month

Join us in celebrating Arab Heritage Month the best way we know how...FILM!

We are hosting an educational and comical night with the help of The Calgary Arab Arts & Culture Society, Foothills Local Immigration Partnership, Foothills Community Immigrant Services, and MORE. Join us for an evening of Culture.

The night will be hosted at Almira's restaurant and include a light treat of Arab food, Arab artists, information, and the very funny film Front Row.

If you have wanted to learn about and understand your neighbours, this is a great place to start as these community members will be sharing culture and what it means to be Arab. Come share with us!!

About the Film: Front Row

Director: Merzak Allouache

Country: Algeria/Saudi Arabia/France

Story:

Up bright and early with their pet in tow, Zohra Bouderbala and her five children are heading to the beach. This is not a drill! In Algiers, the coveted front row spot waits for no one, but it’s not this family’s first time having to beat the summer seaside crowds. The unmotivated and out-of-luck masses who arrive too late will be left to a viewless laze in the sun, the alleged horizon blocked by a fortress of parasols and flowing canopies.
