Amman International Film Festival-Awal Film (AIFF) announced its 2nd 2021 edition will take place from 23-31 August.


In a press statement on Sunday, the AIFF's president, Princess Reem Ali, said: "We are aware of the current difficulties in our part of the world and the rest of the planet. Nevertheless, we believe that cultural events, such as a quality film festival, are even more needed in challenging times. The AIFF is not only a vehicle for gaining an audience and giving exposure for local and international films, but also a stage for social and political change. The second edition of the AIFF can benefit filmmakers in Jordan and the region, as well as the public at large."
