The United Arab Emirates aren’t just a major oil producer – they are also an important hub of Arab culture and home a young, thriving film industry, largely unknown in Poland. We will get a chance to explore it between 5 and 7 April.
The 4th Emirati Film Review at Pod Baranami Cinema presents the story of a young man’s difficulties in trying to become a professional footballer (Fan of Amoory, dir. Amer Salmeen Al-Murry). We will also follow the lives of four friends residing in an old people’s home in Dubai (Shabab Sheyab, dir. Yasir Al-Yasiri) and learn about the Emirati woman whose camels took part in a nationwide beauty competition (Nearby Sky, dir. Nujoom Alghanem).
