SUMMARY:SFP Montage: day one
DESCRIPTION:SFP Montage is a series of special projects and initiatives linked to Sharjah Arts Foundation’s annual Sharjah Film Platform (SFP) festival that forges new associations among the works and expands their reach beyond Sharjah; two award-winning films from the seventh edition of SFP will be screened at NYUAD: The Screening Room on each of 3 and 4 May. Tomorrow’s films are fiction; this evening’s are both documentaries: \nSurveilling a Crime Scene dir Alana Hunt (2023\, 22 min) \nShot on Super 8mm\, this short examines the lives of non-indigenous people in Miriwoong Country\, Australia\, to frame colonisation as not only a historical phenomenon but also a continuous and present violence. English with Arabic subtitles \nCoconut Head Generation dir Alain Kassanda (2023\, 89 min: still above) \nEvery Thursday a group of students from the University of Ibadan organises a film club\, transforming a small lecture hall into a political assembly. Reclaiming the expression ‘coconut head generation’ – a derisive term for stubborn and brainless youth – the students assert their right to intellectual freedom while honing their critical voice. English\, Pidgin\, Yoruba and French with Arabic subtitles

SUMMARY:Theeb: dir Gedir Naji Abu Nowar (2014)
DESCRIPTION:Theeb (‘Wolf’) is a young Bedouin boy living in a remote part of the Ottoman Empire in 1916. When his older brother has to escort a British officer across the desert\, Theeb tags along for the adventure – and experiences a greatly hastened coming-of-age on the perilous journey. \nThe film screens in dialogue with the ongoing Abdullah Al Saadi exhibition Sites of Memory\, Sites of Amnesia as part of a programme curated by researcher and scholar Rasha Salti that invites audiences to reflect on the intricate interplay between remembrance and forgetting\, evoking profound connections to collective and personal histories.
