The only UK festival dedicated to cinema from the Arab world, this year's theme invites you to go back to the very essence of filmmaking: storytelling. Featuring UK premieres, new releases and classics, including a special screening of A Tale of Love and Desire by Leyla Bouzid in partnership with Birds Eye View on Saturday 9th July. The film selection, curated by Rabih El-Khoury, explores the devices used by Arab filmmakers to push cinematic boundaries and reclaim overlooked histories.
