SUMMARY:Lakelands! dir Robert Higgins a Patrick McGivney (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Cian is a dairy farmer\, amateur sportsman and committed hedonist never slow to hit the pub after training. After roping two pals into yet another nightclub bender\, he’s subjected to a brutal alleyway beating that leaves him with concussion and struggling for his bearings in life. With a laconic quip for every eventuality\, Cian won’t open up to those around him or be frank with himself about the fact he is suffering. The return of Grace\, a former almost-girlfriend and now a nurse in London\, helps him find some sensitivity in the search for his own identity. \nThis Irish film shows as part of the European Film Festival\, organised by the Delegation of the European Union to the UAE in partnership with the Cultural Foundation Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah Art. Through a curated selection of titles ranging from award-winning productions to emerging voices in European cinema\, and with impressively discounted ticket prices\, the Festival aims to highlight the richness and diversity of Europe’s film landscape.

SUMMARY:Promis le Ciel | Promised Sky: dir Erige Sehiri (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Sehiri’s intimate drama follows four generations of Ivorian immigrant women as they find solidarity\, conflict and sometimes a sense of displacement in one another’s company. We’re dropped into the lives of Marie (Aïssa Maïga)\, Naney (Debora Lobe Naney) and Jolie (Laetitia Ky)\, as the three roommates care for a little girl\, Kenza (Estelle Kenza Dogbo)\, a displaced child who appears to have miraculously survived a migrant shipwreck before the three women found her. Female relationships are complicated enough as is\, even between those on a level playing field; but in their adopted home in Tunisia none of the women are equals from a socio-economic standpoint … \nScreens in the Manarat al Saadiyat’s week-long CineMas “alternative film festival”.
