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:Les Choristes: dir Christophe Barratier (2004)
DESCRIPTION:This French-language musical drama has a famed French conductor performing in the United States returning to his home in France for his mother’s funeral. An old friend calls round with a diary that belonged to their old teacher; reading it together\, they learn how he tamed an unruly group of kids by forming a choir and teaching them to sing … The result is a low-key heartwarmer that manages to be uplifting without overdoing the sentimentality.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare's Othello
DESCRIPTION:The second performance of Lara Foot’s decolonial version of Shakespeare’s original\, set in 1880s Namibia (which at the time was German Southwest Africa) and inviting the audiences to see the legacies of the brutal violence of colonisation. \nIt feels like an unmissable insight into contemporary southern Africa\, the colonial experience generally\, and maybe Shakespeare too. It probably wouldn’t work without a strong production team – costumes and the very clever set design by Gerhard Marx\, music by Kyle Shepherd\, lighting by Patrick Curtis\, and a cast led by Atandwa Kani as Othello with Albert Pretorius (Iago) and Carla Smith (Desdemona). \n

SUMMARY:The Laughter Factory Premium Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:The October Laughter Factory tour\, billed as “Arena-Quality Comedy in an Intimate Setting”; it’s certainly a good one this time round. The acts: \nJimmy McGhie Gold-plated comedy from a UK standup who’s performed all round the world (he’s been a hit in Dubai too). Highly recommended \nKaren Bayley Well-established (over a decade on the circuit) and particularly good with a smallish crowd: “saucy yet smart\, warm yet wicked\, she balances playful charm with a spiky edge that wins over men and women alike” \nTabarak Dubai-based comedic firecracker. Expect high-octane energy and “unfiltered charm” … \nThey’re working hard this time round\, with the week packed with gigs thanks to a couple of new venues. Here’s the rest of the schedule: \n11 Oct Studio One Hotel\n12 Oct The Club Abu Dhabi (7pm start)\n13 Oct Aura Skypool\n15 Oct The Strand\n16 Oct The Bay\, Al Hamra Golf Club RAK\n17 Oct Radisson DAMAC Hills\n18 Oct Dukes The Palm \n
