SUMMARY:Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF)
DESCRIPTION:The 43nd edition of SIBF promises to be the fair’s biggest edition ever\, claiming to show more than 1.5 million titles by 2\,500 publishing houses from 112 different countries. There will also be a packed 12-day agenda of more than 1\,350 activities – among them 47 live cookery demonstrations and no fewer than 600 workshops in creative writing for all age groups conducted in Arabic and English. \nAnd there’s the return of the third edition of the Thriller Festival show-within-the-show (7-10 November) organised in partnership with Thriller Festival NY and featuring authors such as Ahmed Mourad\, Amir Atef\, Yehia Safwat\, Saad Abed Al Badr\, Mohammed Al Nasser\, John J Nance\, Isabella Maldonado\, KJ Howe and Tess Gerritsen. There will be panel sessions\, workshops (including a three-dayer led by Ahmed Mourad on writing thrillers) and of course book signings. This segment is building into a successful event in its own right and surely deserves its own identity away from SIBF … \nSIBF runs 6 to 17 November\, open daily 10am to 10pm (Fridays 4pm to 11pm). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Animal: dir Cyril Dion (2021)
DESCRIPTION:16-year-old Bella and Vipulan are part of a generation that knows its very future is at risk – between climate change and the mass extinction of wildlife\, their world could well be inhabitable 50 years from now. At the instigation of director Cyril Dion\, who already nailed his colours to the mast with his 2015 investigative documentary  Tomorrow\, and the eminent primatologist Jane Goodall\, the two teenagers embark in an extraordinary quest: to travel around the world and meet with scientists and activists to find another way of living alongside other species\, more as roommates than predators. The two protagonists are simultaneously very ordinary and very engaging; Dion has produced a powerful argument for coexistence rather than competition\, and his skill is to let us draw our own conclusions. \nIn English with French subtitles.
