SUMMARY:A Life on Tape / Bilder (m)einer Mutter: dir Melanie Lischker (1921)
DESCRIPTION:Melanie Lischker’s documentary reconstructs the life of her mother (who she barely remembers) from over 100 hours of Super 8 and video footage that was meticulously recorded over the decades\, mostly by her father. The result is the poignant story of a young woman who was never able to fully accept her role as a mother as she tried to free herself from the old thought patterns of her rather authoritarian parents in the 1970s. Her ongoing struggle between a desire for freedom and the imperatives of a well-ordered family life have affected the childhood of the director\, her daughter … Both personally and politically\, the film travels through the decades and shows a woman in conflict with the patriarchal structures of her day. \nThis film screens in the NAAS: She Reel series\, a collaboration between several cultural institutions in the UAEwhich has the subtitle ‘Women in Society: Stories That Inspire\, Change That Empowers’. The films in the programme are dedicated to showcasing women’s stories and raising awareness about their roles in our lives.

SUMMARY:La Cité de la peur / Fear City: dir Alain Berberian (1993)
DESCRIPTION:Odile Deray\, a small time public relations executive\, has her work cut out for her – getting some exposure for a pretty terrible small-budget horror movie called Red is Dead. Then she gets a break: the projectionist is murdered\, just as in the film … and more follow\, identical to those in Red is Dead\, and taking place at the Cannes Festival ! Add in a corrupt politician\, a bodyguard for the lead actor who is more interested in girls than his client\, a police superintendent who can’t handle the press … Full of insider references\, this zany satire about the world of cinema and the Festival de Cannes in particular should make for a fun evening. In French\, with English subtitles; and AF members get in free\, while the rest of us pay AED 35. \n

SUMMARY:Collected Histories: Personal Archives and Documentation
DESCRIPTION:Collected Histories\, a project co-founded by Hind Mezaina and Jasmine Soliman\, aims to foster discussion on personal documentation and archiving “with an ultimate goal of inspiring and supporting individuals to become ‘citizen archivists’ by cataloguing\, and exploring ways to self-publish and preserve personal collections”. The project includes talks\, workshops\, and public film screenings – which this evening includes all three. \nFilms\nFour short films focused on archives\, memories\, and identity followed by a short discussion between Mezaina\, Soliman and the audience. \nDon’t Get Too Comfortable dir Shaima Al Tamimi (2021\, 9 min) Questioning the continuous pattern of movement amongst Yemenis in diaspora\, the filmmaker fuses archival photographs and sourced footage\, calling attention to the collective feeling of statelessness and sense of being felt by migrants. \nWhere Am I From? / Ana min wein? dir Nouf Aljowaysir (2022\, 13 min) The filmmaker explores her identity by tracing her childhood and family memories by constructing her genealogical journey using two different voices\, her own and an AI ‘narrator’\, revealing stereotypes and biases derived from its algorithmic composition. \nStill Processing dir Sophy Romvari (2020\, 17 min) A box of stunning family photos unseen for decades awakens lost memories as they are viewed for the first time on camera. \nThe Flowers Stand Silently\, Witnessing dir Theo Panagopoulos (2024\, 17 min) When a filmmaker of Palestinian descent based in Scotland unearths a rarely-seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wildflowers\, he decides to reclaim the footage. The film questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and the land. \nWorkshop\nThe workshop will explore the importance of archival self-representation\, the objects we keep and why.  Attendees should bring at least one item from their personal archive – family photos\, letters\, diaries\, heirlooms. This event is open to all\, and no prior knowledge about archival practice is required.

SUMMARY:Diamanti: dir Ferzan Özpetek (2024)
DESCRIPTION:A dazzling film set in n 1970s Rome in a dressmaking atelier for film and theatre. The atelier is directed by two very different sisters\, one determined and slightly despotic\, the other more fragile and tormented. An important order comes in for a huge film set in the eighteenth century: the costume designer is an Oscar winner\, the director is equally demanding. The dressmakers get to work; they don’t have much time\, but plenty to contend with\, including a rivalry between two prima donnas who should be prevented from crossing paths when trying on their costumes. And each of the dressmakers has their own problems at home too … \nThere’s a little bit of everything in the film: humour and drama\, sisterhood and competition\, grave losses\, loves that might have been\, secret relationships. The outfits are dazzling\, and the sets and lighting do them justice. The result is a genuine crowd-pleaser\, deploying a big cast of well-known Italian actresses (18\, in all) and set in its entirety in this most glamorous of locales. \nThe film is in Italian\, with English subtitles. It screens in the NAAS: She Reel series\, which is labelled ‘Women in Society: Stories That Inspire\, Change That Empowers’ and features films that are dedicated to highlighting women’s stories and raising awareness about the realities and roles of women in our lives. \nHighly recommended.

SUMMARY:Aseel AlYaqoub: three films
DESCRIPTION:A screening of three films by Aseel AlYaqoub\, currently featuring in the NYUAD Art Gallery’s important Between the Tides: A Gulf Quinquennial exhibition (due to close on 20 April and well work seeing – again\, if you’ve already been). \nThrough archival excavation and performative reenactment\, AlYaqoub explores the entanglements of militarism\, memory\, and inherited state rituals in postcolonial Kuwait. Drawing from found footage\, oral accounts\, and domestic gestures\, the selected films – When The Lyrebird Calls (2022)\, A Hundred Soldiers Somersaulting (2020)\, and Semiotics of War in the Kitchen (2017)  – trace the evolving iconography of war and resistance\, from colonial influence to familial memory. Together\, they question the reliability of inherited symbols and the quiet absurdities embedded in national myth-making. \nThe screening will be followed by a moderated discussion with the artist.

SUMMARY:Les Félins | Joy House: dir René Clément (1963)
DESCRIPTION:Alan Delon is Marc\, a petty criminal on the run from American gangsters\, who seeks refuge in a mission for the poor where wealthy widow Barbara (Lola Albright) hires him as her chauffeur and moves him to her Riviera château. Barbara’s niece (Jane Fonda) becomes attracted to Marc\, but then it gets complicated: Barbara is hiding her lover Vincent\, a bank robber sought by the police for murdering her husband\, and they’re planning to murder Marc for his passport … and the gangsters have got wind of Marc’s whereabouts. There are bodies … \nThe film is satisfyingly twisted\, almost film noir in its plotting but defiantly European in style.  It’s in French with English subtitles; the screening will be followed by a discussion with Hind Mezaina (who’s curating this season for AF). \nThe price incidentally is for non-members; for AF members it’s free.

SUMMARY:Seeking Haven for Mr Rambo: dir Khaled Mansour (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Tensions boil over when 30-year-old Cairo security guard Hassan (Essam Omar) gets into an argument with his bullish landlord Karem (Ahmed Bahaa)\, Hassan’s beloved dog Rambo steps up to defend his master via a bite to Karem’s privates.

SUMMARY:Charade: dir Stanley Donen (1963)
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Donen’s Paris-set romantic screwball / comedy / mystery film has been described as “the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made” – it has a genius plot\, an elegant (or kitschy\, depending on your tastes) vibe\, and real chemistry between Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The classy cast also features Walter Matthau\, James Coburn\, George Kennedy\, and Dominique Minot. Recommended\, especially with the free popcorn.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Zineb Sedira: A way of surviving\, a way of life …
DESCRIPTION:Sedira’s films represent a profound archival exploration of identity\, and cultural activism. Born in 1963 to Algerian parents\, her work is deeply rooted in her self-narration but also sheds light on broader\, interconnected global anxieties surrounding cultural emancipation and diaspora. \nThis exhibition of Sedira’s pioneering cinematic practice is centred on the award-winning Dreams Have No Titles (2022)\, presented as a constructed full-scale cinema box in the Cultural Foundation’s atrium. Originally conceived for the French Pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale\, Dreams Have No Titles is an immersive installation comprising film\, sculpture\, photography and performance\, that interweaves the artist’s biography with activist films produced across France\, Algeria and Italy in the 1960s and 1970s\, a pivotal moment in the history of avant-garde film production. \nAlso featured are mise-en-scène (2019); Image Keepers (2010); and Mother Tongue (2002). These films all carry key concepts in the artist’s practice as they illustrate the complexities of migration\, memory\, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge.

SUMMARY:Perfect Days: dir Wim Wenders (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Writer-director Wim Wenders tells a Tokyo-set story that celebrates the hidden joys and minutiae of Japanese culture . Winner of Best Actor at Cannes 2023\, Koji Yakusho stars as Hirayama\, a contemplative middle-aged man who lives a life of modesty and serenity\, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music\, literature and photography; as we join him on his structured daily routine\, a series of unexpected encounters gradually begin to reveal a hidden past that lies behind his otherwise content and harmonious life. This is a subtle\, shimmering and ultimately life-affirming reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.

SUMMARY:A Real Pain: dir Jesse Eisenberg (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Jesse Eisenberg wrote\, directed and stars in this whip-sharp comedy of two Jewish American cousins touring Poland in honour of their grandmother. The fun comes from the verbal sparring between uptight\, neurotic David (Eisenberg) and his outgoing\, unpredictable cousin Benji (Kieran Culkin)\, but it’s also a substantial and emotionally nourishing character study – and the final shot of the film is absolutely devastating. A BAFTA Award winner\, and tipped for an Oscar too. Very highly recommended.
