It enables us to experience the roles and lives of others, visit different countries and get familiar with their versions of challenges, hardships and joy,” AHSF’s CEO Valentina Kassisieh said at the event. Kassisieh added that the foundation has gradually started returning to its activities and film screenings while adhering to safety and physical distancing measures. Film critic and head of the foundation’s cinema department Adnan Madanat, said that the screening of films started back in November of 1989, with the first being a Yugoslavian movie. “With our hands on our hearts, we were surprised to see our hall bustling with eager attendees,” Madanat added. “Through injecting a scent of adventure, we started AHSF’s film screenings,” he said, noting that at the time they did not have a designated hall in which to screen the films, so they held the screenings at a multipurpose hall. Over the past 30 years, considerable experience has been forged in criticism and the manner of conducting discussions, he noted.
