The Arpa Film Festival, presented by the Arpa Foundation for Film, Music and Art, takes place on September 21-26 at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The event will begin with an Armenian Independence Day celebration and an exclusive screening of the film Namus on September 21, and will progress to over six days to feature over 40 films, documentaries, shorts, music videos, and animated films from 30 nations, with a closing night awards gala and red carpet dinner reception.

Arpa is the name of a river that flows through Armenia. As water provides a source of life and energy, so does art to the human soul. The first Arpa International Film Festival was produced by AFFMA in 1997 with a mission to cultivate cultural understanding and global empathy, creating a dynamic forum for international cinema with a special focus on the work of filmmakers who explore the issues of Diaspora, exile and multi-culturalism. A strong emphasis is placed on ideals of independent thought, artistic vision, cultural diversity and social understanding.
