New Real College Podcast Episode:
“From Lebanon to Palestine: Spotlight on Arab Cinema”

In this episode of Real College Podcast, our team of reporters visited the long-running Twin Cities Arab Film Festival to showcase stories that span borders and generations. Anna Adamson speaks with award-winning Palestinian filmmaker Laila Abbas about creating art under constraint— and why Palestinian stories deserve a global audience. Then, Bianca Caputo introduces us to Mizna, the Minneapolis-based Arab arts organization behind the festival. Next, Hayden Lessiter and Alexandra Denisova speak with Lebanese filmmaker Jihad Saade about Shapes of Normal Human Beings, a 2025 documentary born from an 8-day road trip across Lebanon. Finally, Vanessa Pham sits down with a student leader from the Arab Student Association to reflect on the experience of watching these stories unfold on the big screen, and what it means for Arab students on campus.
