SUMMARY:Xue Bao | Snow Leopard (dir Pema Tseden\, China\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:This is a story about how people and animals can finally get along. A snow leopard\, rare and globally endangered\, breaks into the pen of a herder family and kills nine goats. The father and son argue about what to do: the son wants to kill the snow leopard\, the father insists on releasing it since the animal represents the spirit of the mountains. It’s a scenario that summarises the clash between traditional values and contemporary developments in a modernising Tibet; Tseden\, who died before the film could be released\, devoted his career to illustrating the complexities of modern life in his native land\, and his final completed feature is no exception. \nScreens with Shift (dir Sherine Raffoul and Moussa Shabandar\, Lebanon\, 2024: 18 min)\, a documentary short about Chadi Saad; once an enthusiast bird hunter\, he has made a 360° turn and condemns hunting as criminal. \nThis programme is part of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi

SUMMARY:Agraharathil Kazhuthai | Donkey in a Brahmin Village (dir John Abraham\, 1977)
DESCRIPTION:A college professor faces ridicule when he adopts a newborn donkey after its mother is killed. He leaves Madras and takes the foal to his home village\, against the norms of his community. Bad things start to happen\, and the villagers blame the donkey; they kill it\, and magically miracles beginning happening in the village. The villagers erect a shrine to the donkey\, but they get their comeuppance … Abraham’s Tamil-language satire on social norms among high-caste Brahmins was originally shunned but has since attained cult status. \nScreens with two shorts by Kim Elias Majdalani\, No Man’s Land (6 min) about a dead zone on the disputed southern borders of Lebanon\, where wildlife thrives in the absence of human settlement; and Revenge of Nature (12 min)\, how nature reclaims its territory through ecological succession after an area has been abandoned by humans. \nThis programme is the final event of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi.
