Event Info

1960’s Syria saw the introduction of modernist and auteur cinema. This was largely thanks to the innovation of Omar Amiralay, now widely considered the godfather of Arab non-fiction film.

As a backdrop to our film programme, we invite you to join us for this day-long ticketed, event. The programme will include Amiralay’s most iconic short and feature length films, spanning from 1970 – 2003. 

The films will be a combination of digital file projections and web streams. More details coming.
