DESCRIPTION:Semi-autobiographical drama of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation\, chronicling the experiences of a Nazareth-based family from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War to the early 21st century.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE A Journey into Architecture Archives: Tunis\, Baghdad\, Damascus
DESCRIPTION:As part of its ongoing institutional programming\, Sharjah Architecture Triennial presents what it terms a “new chapter” in a long-term research initiative dedicated to architectural archives in the Arab world. Building on the inaugural 2023 exhibition\, which focused on Beirut\, Cairo and Rabat\, Journeys into Architecture Archives was developed to foster knowledge production about the region from within its own communities\, while contributing to the development of a shared archival database. The project\, again curated by Lebanese architect George Arbid\, brings together rare archival materials\, physical models and newly commissioned documentary films to explore histories\, memories and unrealised futures across three pivotal Arab cities.

SUMMARY:2001 A Space Odyssey: dir Stanley Kubrick (1968)
DESCRIPTION:Kubrick redefined sci-fi movies with 2001: A Space Odyssey\, a film widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential ever made. It wasn’t just the scientifically accurate depiction of spaceflight and the pioneering special effects\, or even the rejection of conventional cinematic and narrative techniques – there’s very little dialogue\, for instance\, and lengthy sequences are accompanied only by music. The main point of contention is the ambiguity; in theory it’s the account of a journey to Jupiter to investigate an alien monolith (with the explicit suggestion that an alien intelligence has been fostering human development through millennia). But beyond that the film has accumulated a variety of interpretations\, ranging from the darkly apocalyptic to an optimistic reappraisal of the hopes of humanity – there are themes of human evolution\, technology\, artificial intelligence\, the possibility of extraterrestrial life\, and how humanity can cope with any or all of that. It was nominated for four Academy Awards\, winning Kubrick the only Oscar he would receive – for his direction of the visual effects. \nScreens as part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Sunday Cinema Club – a free film followed by a talk or a workshop\, 3pm each Sunday from 5 July to 30 Aug at the Photography Gallery in Al Manakh. Films are child-friendly animations (5–19 July)\, pioneering science fiction (26 July–9 Aug)\, or “significant works of Arab cinema” (16-20 Aug).
