Lots and Lots of movies at the London Film Festival
The London Film Festival has officially begun.
My friend Aurora Tellenbach, PhD in Arab Cinema here at SOAS, was kind and diligent enough to put a very long list of the films from the region of Africa and the Middle East.
The time that remains by Elia Suleiman, Palestine (France-Belgium-Italy)
London river by Rachid Bouchareb, Algeria-France
Behind the rainbow by JIhan El-Tahri, South Africa-France-Egypt
One-Zero by Kamla Abu Zekri, Egypt

Lebanon by Samuel Maoz, Israel
Ajami by Scandar Copti, Yaron Shani, Israel-Germany

and my addition to the list is: The Exception and the Rule by Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, an experimental ethnography shot primarily in Karachi
Of course there are many more films, documentaries and education programs the are followed by talks and Q&A’s. They are booking up fast, so if interested you can search any of these films at www.bfi.org.uk/lff where you can also find a full program.
The festival ends on October 24.
