SUMMARY:Sharjah International Film Festival for Children & Youth (SIFF)
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Edition of SIFF takes place 6 to 11 October at VOX Cinemas in City Centre Al Zahia with what looks like a strong lineup – 76 films (chosen from 1\,740 submissions!) representing 26 countries. South Korea is participating as a Country of Honor\, giving audiences the opportunity to explore the way Korean cinema’ has become a major contributor to South Korea’s creative economy\, soft power\, and tourism industry. \nThey include three Middle East premieres – animated feature Miss Moxy (dir Wip Vernooij and Vincent Bal\, Netherlands)\, the story of a cat who has to find her way back home with a couple of unlikely friends; Sarah Talab’s Saudi feature Hajeer\, about a young musician whose life is turned upside down after suffering a childhood illness that causes him to lose his hearing; and Seryeong Jeong’s 2:15PM\, a remarkable poignant tale that you should really see if you can. Ten-year-old Hyunsu comes across six-year-old Jo Minha\, who has been isolated from the world by her abusive father; understanding the power of kindness\, Hyunsu sneaks visits to Jo Minha at precisely 2:15pm each day for a fleeting ten minutes together … \nOn the sidelines\, SIFF Pop-Up will be hosted in Sharjah Research Technology & Innovation Park with a series of activations and workshops aiming to encourage the young to get involved with film. \nThe website is less than helpful at the moment: right now you can’t tell exactly what’s showing when\, or how much the tickets might be. Hopefully it will get sorted out …

SUMMARY:Joanne McNally
DESCRIPTION:Two Dubai Comedy Festival shows in one evening for the Irish funnywoman\, at 6.30pm and 9.30pm; catch one of them if you can\, because she is very good. She’s a regular on TV in Britain and Ireland\, and she co-hosts the popular podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me with Vogue Williams; but she’s at her best with a live audience\, fast\, sharp and funny. Recommended. \n

SUMMARY:Golden Ink: A Journey through Arab and Islamic Manuscripts
DESCRIPTION:This flagship travelling exhibition\, run in collaboration with McGill University\, Canada\, is a great chance to explore the richness\, inherent beauty\, and global impact of the heritage of Arabic and Islamic manuscripts. \nThe exhibition promises an exploration of the intellectual and artistic legacy of the Islamic world\, assembling a rare selection of manuscripts across disciplines such as science\, literature\, religion\, art\, and philosophy. \nThis should be a significant exhibition. Treasures from the Abu Dhabi Libraries’ collection will be shown alongside notable contributions from McGill University\, Zayed National Museum\, Louvre Abu Dhabi\, and some UAE private collections. Visitors can expect immersive displays\, digital interactives\, and a public programme including hands-on workshops; there will also be a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue\, which should become a collectors’ item. \nThe exhibition is in the House of Knowledge\, in the palace’s eastern wing. The exhibition itself is free to visit\, but general admission to the palace is AED 65 – and well worth the money. \nTo 7 April.
