Mizna proudly presents the fifteenth Twin Cities Arab Film Festival (TCAFF) from September 29 to October 3, 2021. TCAFF 2021 is a hybrid film festival, screening independent Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) cinema virtually for audiences across the United States and in-person at the Trylon Cinema in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. TCAFF celebrates cinema from Arabic-speaking countries and their diasporas, striving to represent a diverse range of stories from the SWANA region and beyond.

COVID GUIDELINES
All In-Person screenings at the Trylon Cinema that are part of Mizna's Arab Film Fest will require audience members to show proof of vaccination in order to enter. People will also be required to wear masks when in the theater. These are Mizna's guidelines, and not the Trylon's, but will be enforced for all Mizna screenings.
