Let’s go back to the very essence of filmmaking with the SAFAR Film Festival dedicated this year to storytelling with the theme, The Stories We Tell in Arab Cinema. Featuring UK premieres, new releases and classics, accompanied by filmmaker discussions, SAFAR explores the devices used by Arab filmmakers to push cinematic boundaries, reclaim overlooked histories, and present new perspectives to audiences both at home and abroad.
