TONIGHTS MOVIE HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to inclement weather SORRY!

Open - air festival season has started.
THE VILLAGE NEXT TO PARADISE—a remarkable tale of love, resilience and hope—gives us a glimpse of Somalia. Maddening wind and whirling sand characterise Paradise, a ramshackle village on Somalia’s coast that Mamargade (Ahmed Ali Farah) calls home. The resourceful family navigates the troubled waters of life, they occasionally lose their grip but never give up, ultimately learning to face their responsibilities. With an unhurried pace, the film truthfully conveys their lives and struggles. Harsh realities are transcended with grace, becoming something spiritual, while the intense bonds between the family members remain implicit. This movie won several prizes, Viennale, Diagonale etc.
