The 61st Robert Flaherty Film Seminar to be held on 13-19 June 2015 in New York State, USA, will have a curatorial focus on film, video, and computer-based media of the Arab world under the working title “The Scent of a Place.” It aims to showcase a lot of artists and filmmakers from the Arab world while simultaneously "de-Arabizing" them and allowing the audience to focus on the works themselves and to encourage critical thought about the moving image's role in our societies.
