The Arlington International Film Festival is much more than just a film festival; it is a celebration of cultures as well as being a platform for recognizing the common global human experience.  The skill of ‘story-telling’ as is taught and practiced in Marrakech, the historical journey of Indian sarodist, Maestro Ali Akbar Khan and his music legendary, an African-American’s journey from the segregated south to national recognition told through his carving, tooling and dyeing of pictures on leather, non-violence practiced by a little-known movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, an intimate spiritual interaction among a trio of human beings caught up in a moment of history told through performances of  lieders by Schubert, Schumann and Wolf, autism and the struggle of a family to survive it’s demands, and what about the reality of reaching middle age in 2012 and not having found a partner; can we embrace this and celebrate life as it is and still feel whole?  These are some of the many themes addressed in this year’s 2nd annual Arlington International Film Festival. In addition to film screenings there will be Q & A’s with filmmakers/actors, panel discussions, special live performances and more.

Visitors from near and far are welcomed… hospitality, history, museums, fabulous restaurants, all good reasons to make Arlington your destination.  Please join us for what promises to be an exciting 5 days of independent films.
