SUMMARY:Sharjah Film Platform 7
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Arts Foundation’s annual indie/experimental film festival returns for its seventh edition\, featuring around 30 UAE premieres. \nMost are in the Competition section\, documentary and fiction films that have been nominated by an international committee of filmmakers and industry professionals. Highlights include … \n◊ Kamal Al Jafari’s documentary A Fidai Film (2024) which seeks to reclaim the looted memories of Palestinian history by using archival footage\n◊ Places of the Soul (2023) by Hamida Issa\, which follows an environmental expedition to Antarctica while juxtaposing its icy landscape with the deserts of the filmmaker’s home country\n◊ Pham Ngoc Lan’s fiction feature Cu Li Never Cries (2024)\, a black and white film interweaving personal and political histories in current day Vietnam\n◊ The Great Yawn of History (2024) by Iranian filmmaker Aliyar Rasti\, a story about a middle-aged religious man who goes on a quest for hidden treasure. \nAmong the other films showing are two supported by Sharjah Art Foundation – From Ground Zero (2024)\, an anthology of 22 short films created by filmmakers from Gaza; and Upshot (2024)\, a short directed by Maha Haj\, which tells a story of a solitary couple and the aftermaths of a painful past. \nThe Director in Focus segment honours regional directors for their lifetime achievements in global cinema. Honoured this year is Mohamad Malas\, noted for his moving films chronicling the modern history of Syria and its neighbours. Along with the screening of The Dream (1987)\, The Night (1992) and the global premiere of Oh Father\, I Am Youssef (2024)\, Malas will give a masterclass on the role of storytelling. \nPresented in parallel with the film screenings\, a series of public programmes provides opportunities for learning and gathering. This year’s programme focuses on notions of modernity in new African and Asian film\, cinema as resistance and resilience from Palestine and beyond\, as well as innovations in documentary filmmaking\, among other topics. \nAlso part of this year’s SFP is the Sharjah Film Platform Feature Fund that will award AED 500\,000 to one UAE-based scriptwriter\, director or lead/executive producer for the completion of an English- or Arabic-language narrative feature currently under production. Formerly known as the Pitching Forum\, the strengthened fund should now provide more comprehensive and robust support to filmmakers in the country. \nSFP7 runs 15 to 24 November at the open-air Mirage City Cinema in Sharjah’s historical quarter\, and indoors at VOX Cinemas at City Centre Al Zahia. The full programme is here; most feature screenings are a bargain AED 15\, some are free. \n

SUMMARY:Alserkal Art Week
DESCRIPTION:Alserkal Art Week returns 17-25 November. As usual many of the galleries will be opening new shows during the week (we count ten: they’re listed separately in the Agenda)\, but the Alserkal Avenue people have been developing a programme themselves to provide lots more reasons to visit the Avenue – screenings\, performances\, open studios\, symposia\, workshops\, and slow art walks. This year there is a theme\, ‘Acts of Presence’\, to emphasise “the importance of togetherness and connection amidst an increasingly divided world”. \nOur pickouts:\nMade Present: Biographies of Artworks Defying the Ongoing Nakba Curated by Faris Shomali and Zaina Zarour\, this ‘research exhibition’ charts the survival of over ten Palestinian artworks\, foregrounding the extensive history of artists who have gone to great lengths to ensure their works remain visible. “While the history of Palestine’s art is often depicted as one of loss\, fragmentation\, colonial plunder\, and destruction\, this exhibition offers an alternative historiography – one in which these artworks defy attempts at erasure.” Warehouse 50\, details here. \nWalk With Me: Public Art Commissions Now in its second iteration\, this series of site-specific public art commissions (curated by Zoé Whitley and presented by Alserkal Arts Foundation) sited around the Avenue are intended to reflect on fragility\, resilience\, and public memory. There are four artists with work on show: Dima Srouji\, Asma Belhamar\, Abbas Akhavan and Vikram Divecha. Information here\, and there’s a tour of the works at 4pm on 17 November led by Whitley\, Divecha and Belhamar; free\, but register for a place here. \nSlow art walks A thoughtful amble through exhibitions\, public art\, and hidden corners of the Avenue. There are two\, both on 23 November; one at 4pm with writer/curator Yalda Bidshahri\, the other at 5pm with Priyanka Mehra of Ishara Art Foundation. We’re not sure where these start – A4 space is usually a good bet – and they don’t seem to need preregistration. \nMajlis Talks This edition of Majlis Talks is entitled ‘Acts of Presence: Stories of Africa’s Creative Leaders’. Curated by Charlotte Ashamu\, it is a series of four discussions and demonstrations with alternative voices from Ghana\, Ethiopia\, South Africa\, and Côte d’Ivoire. 17 November\, 5.30-7pm; free\, but register here. \nDomestic Departures: (Im)mobility\, loss and resilience in an uncertain world Recipients of Alserkal Arts Foundation Research Grants 2022-2024 present multidisciplinary projects that address permanence and belonging via conversations and research displays with six practitioners – Khalda El Jack\, Zainab Gaafar\, Lubnah Ansari\, Natasha Maru\, Rhea Shah\, and Maitha AlSuwaidi – using experimental cartography\, immersive installations\, and independent zines. On 23 November\, 2-6pm at Jossa by Alserkal; free\, but register here. \nOpen Studios Alserkal Arts Foundation will also be opening the studios of its current residents – sound artist Jad Saliba\, writer and visual artist Sinzo Aanza\, academic researcher and mixed-media artist Thlana Bazik\, and filmmaker Pallavi Paul. Warehouse 50. \nOur Future(s) This “immersive experience” presented by the Dubai Future Foundation and Museum of the Future\, invites visitors to contemplate our collective futures via an installation that engages audiences through key statements and delicate sound whispers\, representing the uncertainties that shape our shared future. “Through this reflective space\, the Foundation aims to better understand public sentiment\, helping to shape informed strategies and innovative solutions for a more resilient and sustainable world.” Warehouse A1\, information here. \nDissuader: Art and Design This exhibition of work by the Italian designer and artist Franco Perrotti is another collaboration with partners\, in this case the Gieffe Group and Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi. Central to the exhibition is Dissuader\, a monumental allegorical pigeon sculpted from stainless steel and birchwood\, symbolising the complex dynamics between humans and their environment. Warehouse 46.

SUMMARY:Al Ain Book Festival 2024
DESCRIPTION:AABF has changed its nomenclature from ‘book fair’ to ‘book festival’ for 2024\, but this is till an important date for Arab-language publishers – and the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC)\, which organises it\, has reported a “significant” increase in publisher registration requests for this 15th edition: the 260 registrations represents better than a twothirds increase on 2023. AABF promotes the Arabic language as “a fundamental pillar of cultural identity\, and a repository of the values\, traditions\, and the rules of conduct (Sanaa’)\, upon which the UAE was founded and from which its unique development journey began – a journey that starts and ends with the human being”. Last year’s fair attracted more than 95\,000 visitors. \nThe ‘festival’ element implies that there will be a lot of sideshows and associated events\, but right now the website is still promoting 2023 and we can’t tell you what they might be. No doubt this will be rectified nearer the time … Note that these dates are a change to the original schedule\, which had AABF opening on 18 November.

SUMMARY:Focal Point 2024
DESCRIPTION:The seventh edition of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Focal Point art book fair – the region’s only art book fair\, we think – features local and international publishers with book launches\, talks\, workshops and musical performances during its run (22 to 24 November at Bait Obaid Al Shamsi\, 10am to 4pm each day). \nFeaturing artists’ presses\, bookmakers\, self-publishers and non-commercial cultural producers\, this year’s edition encourages the community to engage with independent publishing and the central role of books as tools for social mobilisation and the development of a free and just world.  This year\, Sharjah Art Foundation has invited several community leaders\, artists\, graphic designers and independent practitioners to present a selection of publications from their respective cultural ecosystems at Focal Point; the fair will also include workshops on sketching\, writing and zine-making\, in addition to conversations\, readings\, presentations and meet-and-greet sessions. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tanweer Festival
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural Tanweer Festival promises “a three-day celebration that transcends language\, culture\, and borders” on 22\, 23 and 24 November in the desert at Mleiha\, itself a treasure of visual and archaeological significance. ‘Tanweer’ means something like ‘enlightenment’\, and the festival’s programme includes live music (headliners include Sami Yusuf and Senny Camara; there’s also gnawa\, oud\, and more); Emirati traditional dance and whirling dervish performances; poetry\, art\, and workshops. So there’s a distinct heritage vibe\, but there will be lots of food stalls too\, plus a marketplace and art installations. On-site experiences also include stargazing\, horseriding\, and “other activities that nurture a holistic sense of well-being”. One day passes are AED 700\, the weekend pass is AED 1\,650\, and camping is available.

SUMMARY:Lang Lang Plays Disney
DESCRIPTION:Top international pianist plus full orchestra and “special guests”plays Disney soundtracks – “a musical and visual experience of Disney’s most popular songs”. Lang Lang has been touring his take on Disney for some time – Disney has a 60-minute TV special filmed in 2023 with Alfie Boe and the RPO – but we’re told this is a new show that promises “a live musical interpretation of the most beloved songs of one’s childhood and perhaps those of one’s children too”. As he puts it\, “I hope that people of all ages will enjoy this and experience the joy that we all felt the first time we saw a Disney film”.

SUMMARY:Fashionarte
DESCRIPTION:We don’t normally do fashion in magpie\, but we do have a soft spot for Goshopia and its founder Araceli Gallego\, repository and advocate respectively for sustainably-sourced don’t-scare-the-horses style in practical but very goodlooking wear\, mostly for women. And now Goshopia is offering a month-long exhibition at Chaka Arts’ place in Al Fahidi that “reimagines sustainable fashion as museum-worthy wearable art … FashionArte represents a significant milestone in Dubai’s sustainable fashion movement\, offering visitors the unique opportunity to experience eco-conscious fashion through an artistic lens while supporting ethical makers and designers”. \nSo\, “sustainable fashion as curated art pieces”? Ms Gallego says this “revolutionises the traditional retail experience”. At the very least it will be worth checking out some big claims … \nThe whole experience is very fashion-y\, with a catwalk and opening and closing parties (register in advance and you might get a ticket). There will also be weekly Fashion Majlis discussions: \n28 November 6pm Innovative Materials in Fashion register here\n5 December 6pm Circularity in Fashion register here\n12 December 6pm AI & Technology in Fashion register here \nTo 21 December.

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Art: day three
DESCRIPTION:The 16th edition of Abu Dhabi Art has 102 galleries\, the largest number to date. It has five principal sectors: \nModern & Contemporary: for established galleries (who have been operating for at least seven years) with curatorial framework for booth presentations. This is the main section\, with more than 30 galleries showing \nSpecial Projects: solo or dual artist presentations by individual galleries – we count 28 of these \nEmerge: for artworks priced under $3\,000 – nine participants this year \nBidaya: for emerging galleries (operating for less than three years) who are first-time participants. There are two exhibitors \nFocus: galleries invited to participate with specific artists chosen by a guest curator. There are Focus sectors for Hong Kong\, Latin America\, Women Artists and Sustainability (some very interesting selections here\, curated by Riccarda Mandrini) \nThis year there’s also a new regional section called Something Bold\, Something New; eight participating galleries – most of them regular participants in Abu Dhabi Art – will present works by modernist artists “whose practices and legacies are long overdue recognition and appreciation”. \nSilk Road; Drifting Identities is another new section\, this one for artists and galleries from Central Asia and the Caucasus. “These seem important debuts\, because they open long-forgotten discussions around the Silk Road\, which has come to represent a journey of self-discovery for travellers\, a search for identity\, and a time of metamorphosis”. \nThe Collectors Salon is perhaps the most interesting innovation. It’s described as a response to the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s lead in exploring connections between civilisations and cultures across time; so eight exhibitors will present manuscripts\, astrolabes\, historical objects\, rare books and 19th century Orientalist paintings. \nAs well as the conventional art fair\, Abu Dhabi Art places a lot of emphasis on its public engagement programme – installations\, commissions\, exhibitions\, talks and events throughout the year. Worth catching are the Beyond Emerging Artists exhibits at the Manarat (this programme provides three emerging artists in the UAE – Dina Nazmi Korchid\, Simrin Mehra Agarwal\, Fatima Al Ali – with a platform from which to realise ambitious art projects) and installations in Al Ain (site-specific artworks at Al Ain Oasis and Al Jahili Fort)

SUMMARY:Zazie dans le métro: dir Louis Malle (1960)
DESCRIPTION:Classic surrealistic slapstick from France: Zazie is a brash and precocious ten-year-old (Catherine Demongeot) who comes to Paris for a whirlwind weekend with her rakish uncle (Philippe Noiret); he and the viewer get more than they bargained for\, however. Louis Malle anarchic\, surrealistic comedy\, based on a popular novel by Raymond Queneau that had been considered unadaptable\, rides roughshod over the City of Light. Made with real flair\, Zazie dans le métro is stream-of-consciousness slapstick\, full of great visual gags and editing tricks … Highly recommended. In French\, with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Les Demoiselles de Rochefort: dir Jacques Demy (1996)
DESCRIPTION:Delphine is a dance teacher ; her sister Solange composes and teaches the piano. Maxence\, a poet and a painter\, is doing his military service; Simon owns a music shop. They are all looking for love\, without being aware that their ideal partner is very close … Demy’s extravagant tribute to the Hollywood musicals that had so enchanted him in his youth featured not just singing\, but also dancing\, multiple interwoven storylines\, and roles for some of his favourite actors – Michel Piccoli\, Jacques Perrin\, Gene Kelly\, Catherine Deneuve and more. The result is regarded by many as the best French film musical ever made. Screens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:Rumors!
DESCRIPTION:Complices Théâtre presents Neil Simon’s farcical package of gags\, twists and zingers. A group of friends gathers for a dinner party\, only to find that something is not quite right – the kitchen staff have vanished\, the hostess is missing\, and the host has shot himself in the head (accidentally\, as it turns out). That’s just the start of the evening; as more guests arrive\, each adds their own twist to the unfolding situation … It’s really a very good play\, with clever dialogue and moments of tension amid the comedy. Jihane Tehini directs. \nThere are performances on 22\, 23 and 24 November at 8pm\, with a matinée at 2.30pm on 24 November. It’s played in English\, with subtitles in French too.
