United Arab Emirates are taking to Berlin their best food and cinema for one night
A movie night dedicated to United Arab Emirates’ traditions and culture
Film in original version and dinner with typical products from United Arab Emirates: this is Emirates Day, second of five events organised by Travelling Film Festival Berlin. These events take place at IL KINO, an intimate and welcoming place between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, on Maybachufer. The festival is starting on Wednesday 28th November 2018, but Emirates Day takes place on the following day, Thursday 29th November. It will be possible to attend to an introduction to the event provided by delegates from United Arab Emirates Embassy in Berlin and then to the screening of the Arab comedy “On borrowed time” (original version with English subtitles). Right after the movie you will taste typical specialties of Arabic tradition, served on a rich buffet. The price for the entire event is 15€. It will be a special occasion to celebrate culinary and culture traditions of such a distant and different country from ours. Hopefully it will be an inspiration for our next journey.
Emirates Day: the plot of On Borrowed Time
On the night of 29th November during Travelling Film Festival Berlin the Arab movie “On borrowed time” will be screened (original title: Shabab Sheyab). The movie will be screened in original version with English subtitles. “On borrowed time” is a 2018 comedy directed by Yasir Al-Yasiri and it tells the story of four elderly friends who live in the same retirement home in Dubai. They believe to have lost their joy of life but their lifes will be turned upside down as one of them inherits a large amount of money. Unexpectedly they find themselves running away from the retirement home and finding again that enthusiasm for life that seemed lost for ever.
