SUMMARY:The Glassworker: dir Usman Riaz (2024)
DESCRIPTION:First-time director Usman Riaz embraces the old-fashioned star-crossed romance with a beautifully animated film about a young glassblowing artist and his lost love. At the same time it’s a truly humanist\, demonstrating how art and creativity can provide solace and strength even in the darkest times. It’s Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated film\, inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli and ten years in the making. Another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:For A Few Dollars More: dir Sergio Leone (1965)
DESCRIPTION:The second chapter in Sergio Leone’s epic Dollars Trilogy ups the ante with more tension\, more grit\, and a bigger budget thanks the success of the first outing for the Man With No Name. This time around two rival bounty killers (Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) are hunting the same target\, the outlaw known as El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté). Forming an uneasy alliance\, the pair infiltrate El Indio’s gang … Leone’s mythic\, feverish vision of the traditional Western is packed with unforgettable visuals\, a great slow-burning score\, and sharp storytelling. This beautifully restored print is totally uncut (expect some blood!) and represents another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:Book Cellar Dubai: The Queue
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir Sorokin’s 1983 has been described as “a bizarrely funny saga of a quintessential Russian institution\, the interminably long line”. Perhaps you might go for “avant-garde” rather than bizarre; the book is solely snatches of dialogue\, the voices of people in the queue (the idea is that the reader should feel that they are part of the queue themselves). Another interesting choice from Dubai’s most interesting book club …

SUMMARY:Summer Roast By Abz Ali
DESCRIPTION:When allied with wit and accuracy\, the implicit cruelty of the newly-popular ‘roast’ format can be more just an excuse for snide insults or another culture war salvo. We hope for the best from Abz Ali\, who is known for his crowdwork – sharp wit\, quick comebacks\, and a good relationship with the front row of the audience. We’re promised “an evening of high-energy entertainment you won’t forget”.
