Synopsis
TILKA is an intimate portrait of five women who meet to create an original play with Seenaryo amid Lebanon’s collapse. The film weaves together each woman’s individual story with a collective narrative of displacement, motherhood and hope told through the play. It is Seenaryo’s debut documentary, directed by Myriam Geagea.
TILKA won Best Local Documentary at the Lebanese Independent Film Festival, a Special Jury Mention at the Beirut Women Film Festival and premiered in the UK at Cambridge Film Festival.
Director Myriam Geagea describes the film as “a testament to the transformative power of art and self-expression.”

HCC & HMSC present: Night of the Kings (dir Philippe Lacôte)

Certificate:
Synopsis
A young man is sent to ‘La Maca’, a prison of Ivory Coast in the middle of the forest ruled by its prisoners. With the red moon rising, he is designated by the Boss to be the new ‘Roman’ and must tell a story to the other prisoners.
Paying homage to the tradition of the griot in West African culture, this original vision from breakout Ivory Coast filmmaker Philippe Lacôte tells the story of a pickpocket (Koné Bakary), newly arrived at a correctional facility in the Ivorian capital of Abidjan, who, in order to stay alive, must keep his fellow inmates entertained with wild tales over the course of a night.
