LA VOICES FILMS BLOCK - HAFF 2026

​The LA Voices Program spotlights a dynamic collection of films rooted in the Arab diaspora experience in Los Angeles and across the United States. These stories live at the intersection of cultures — shaped by heritage, redefined by place, and driven by a new generation of filmmakers carving out their identities in one of the world’s most influential creative capitals.

​Bold, personal, and unapologetically diverse, this program captures the rhythms of life between worlds: questions of belonging, reinvention, ambition, and memory. From intimate character studies to stylistic explorations, these films reflect the richness and complexity of Arab voices emerging from LA and beyond.

​Featuring:

• ​Le Beyrouth – Dir. Daniella Raphael (United States)

• ​Sabr Dolls – Dir. Victoria Xashara-Prescott (United States)

• ​Helium – Dir. Zack Abdulbaki (United States/UAE)

• ​PIGSKIN – Dir. Tishna Lodi (United States)

• ​B2 – Dir. Francois Bittar (United States)

• ​Winter Brothers – Dir. Waleed Bedour (United States/Egypt)

​This is where local stories meet global perspectives — a celebration of Arab filmmakers shaping the cultural landscape of Los Angeles, one film at a time.

​From LA to the world — these are the voices redefining the narrative.
