SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY The Two Walks: Works on Paper selected by Judy Karkour
DESCRIPTION:A group show of new and archival works on paper selected by Judy Karkour that brings together 14 artists with distinct material and artistic backgrounds – Sarah Almehairi\, Faris Alshafar\, Olaf Breuning\, Bernhard Buhmann\, André Butzer\, Nadine Ghandour\, Monika Grabuschnigg\, Amir Khojasteh\, Nour Malas\, Solimar Miller\, Philip Mueller\, Mayar Obedo\, Edgar Orlaineta\, Amba Sayal-Bennett. \nThe title refers to “the corridor that souls use to travel between worlds\, to the thousand lives that live within one\, and to those who resist conformity” and the exhibition explores paper as a medium that challenges scale as grandiose; there is something uniquely revealing about working with paper\, and each of the artists uses and manipulates it in different ways that expand beyond its traditional associations – to express hidden existential thoroughfare\, complex intentions\, and explore innovative techniques.

SUMMARY:Hamad Almuzaini: Precarious Beings
DESCRIPTION:“What is the ultimate goal of a city?” asks architect/artist Hamad Almuzaini: “Governance and the streamlining of lived experience – an impossible task – or something more open\, broken\, and constantly reinvented?” He says these questions guide his work across photography\, drawing\, and sculpture as he probes the entangled systems and countless stakeholders that make and remake environments we call ‘home’. “My practice involves observing and researching built environments and the ways we generate and respond to the notion of ‘place’ … By examining widely encountered subjects within cities\, I reinterpret how we navigate and interact with these places – uncovering gestures\, behaviours\, and motivations that quietly shape the act of placemaking.” \nThe exhibition looks at placemaking within the context of Kuwait City\, considering everyday details\, overlooked objects\, and urban infrastructures that shape places to trace the subtle relationships between people\, objects\, systems\, and the built environment. \nTo 11 October.

SUMMARY:The President's Cake: dir Hasan Hadi (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Hasan Hadi’s debut feature is a beautiful tale of love\, friendship and resilience told from the perspective of a child growing up under Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime. It was the first Iraqi film to feature at the Cannes Film Festival\, where it premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight and won both the section’s Audience Award and the Camera d’Or. \nNine-year-old Lamia (the unselfconsciously excellent Baneen Ahmad Nayyef) is required by her school to make a birthday cake for the Iraqi president. Lamia sets off into town with her grandmother Bibi (Waheed Thabet Khreibat) and her pet cockerel Hindi; as she shops for sanctioned and hard-to-find ingredients\, she meets a series of vivid characters\, some very engaging and at least one pretty creepy. The results are highly engaging\, and the cake climax is worth the wait … Highly recommended\, and kudos to Cinema Space for finding this little gem for its programme of free screening. \n

SUMMARY:Summer Roast By Abz Ali
DESCRIPTION:When allied with wit and accuracy\, the implicit cruelty of the newly-popular ‘roast’ format can be more just an excuse for snide insults or another culture war salvo. We hope for the best from Abz Ali\, who is known for his crowdwork – sharp wit\, quick comebacks\, and a good relationship with the front row of the audience. We’re promised “an evening of high-energy entertainment you won’t forget”.

SUMMARY:Book Cellar Dubai: The Queue
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir Sorokin’s 1983 has been described as “a bizarrely funny saga of a quintessential Russian institution\, the interminably long line”. Perhaps you might go for “avant-garde” rather than bizarre; the book is solely snatches of dialogue\, the voices of people in the queue (the idea is that the reader should feel that they are part of the queue themselves). Another interesting choice from Dubai’s most interesting book club …

SUMMARY:For A Few Dollars More: dir Sergio Leone (1965)
DESCRIPTION:The second chapter in Sergio Leone’s epic Dollars Trilogy ups the ante with more tension\, more grit\, and a bigger budget thanks the success of the first outing for the Man With No Name. This time around two rival bounty killers (Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) are hunting the same target\, the outlaw known as El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté). Forming an uneasy alliance\, the pair infiltrate El Indio’s gang … Leone’s mythic\, feverish vision of the traditional Western is packed with unforgettable visuals\, a great slow-burning score\, and sharp storytelling. This beautifully restored print is totally uncut (expect some blood!) and represents another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:The Glassworker: dir Usman Riaz (2024)
DESCRIPTION:First-time director Usman Riaz embraces the old-fashioned star-crossed romance with a beautifully animated film about a young glassblowing artist and his lost love. At the same time it’s a truly humanist\, demonstrating how art and creativity can provide solace and strength even in the darkest times. It’s Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated film\, inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli and ten years in the making. Another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny
DESCRIPTION:The marmite comedian is back in town for the second time this year with another look at his latest touring show. It’s his trademark up-yours to civility – if he hasn’t amended the setlist again\, you should expect a flurry of gags about abortion\, sex\, identity politics\, domestic abuse\, murder\, paedophilia\, parenthood\, and Harry and Meghan. And he does indeed have a funny laugh … \nHe’s doing two shows\, at 6.30 and 9.30pm (“one for me\, one for the taxman” as he riposted to a heckle at one of the UK shows).

SUMMARY:Familiar Touch: dir Sarah Friedland (2024)
DESCRIPTION:A coming-of-old-age story with real compassion: writer-director Sarah Friedland’s story follows the octogenarian Ruth Goldman (noted stage actress Kathleen Chalfant – “an astonishingly nuanced\, considered and graceful performance” said the Guardian review) as she copes with dementia and her shifting\, fading memories in an assisted living facility. “Friedland explores the human mind in all its frailness and glory” said Sight & Sound of this gentle life-affirming drama.

SUMMARY:The Time That Remains: dir Elia Suleiman (2009)
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. Structured in four historical episodes\, the narrative traces generational struggles with displacement\, military occupation\, and daily absurdities\, employing minimal dialogue\, Suleiman’s characteristic deadpan humour\, and symbolic imagery to highlight themes of endurance and ironic resistance – all without being overtly didactic. \nScreens as the last in this inaugural season of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Sunday Cinema Club.

SUMMARY:A Fistful of Dollars: dir Sergio Leone (1964)
DESCRIPTION:Sergio Leone’s satirical riff on director Akira Kurosawa’s samurai classic Yojimbo launched the Spaghetti Western\, Clint Eastwood’s career as a movie star\, and Ennio Morricone as a household name thanks to that unforgettable score. An instant international phenomenon\, this hard-hitting epic stunned audiences with its violence\, gritty realism and tongue-in-cheek humour … Essential viewing and another good pick in Cinema Space’s continuing programme of free screenings.

SUMMARY:Cinderella: dir  Wilfred Jackson\, Hamilton Luske\, Clyde Geronimi (1950)
DESCRIPTION:Walt Disney spent more than a decade developing this animated film version of the fairy tale about a beleaguered girl\, tormented by her unsympathetic stepmother and stepsisters\, who gets a chance at romance and a better future through the intervention of her fairy godmother. Disney had the entire film staged with live actors to create reference footage for the animators to work from … This beautifully restored version looks like a great Sunday morning treat for the family.
