  • Arab picks from LFF 2025

    Aside from our recently reviewed Palestine 36, the BFI London Film Festival marked the festival run tailend for a number of films from the Arab world. Highlights include Erige Sehiri’s Promised Sky, the result of five directors’ efforts to piece together a heartfelt tribute to the Sudanese... continue
  • Palestine 36 - Harrowing and all too rare retelling of the...

    Palestinian cinema is distinctly prolific. The more efforts are made to erase Palestinians as a people and Palestine as a slice of West Asian land, the more urgent the storytelling becomes. 2025 has already seen a number of much hyped premieres and releases, but the novelty this year seems to be... continue
  • In Vermiglio, the cold bites but it also keeps you alive.

    1944. Wartime Italy. Icebound village. Maura Delpero’s Vermiglio (2025) is truly an exquisite winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury. The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

It Follows

by Abla Kandalaft
Critics’ Week’s best film (in this writer’s opinion) has finally landed in the UK. I was surprised -and delighted- to find out a horror film was among the competition’s selection, despite its championing of genre cinema. And I have to admit, shamefully, that I did think chances were it would be a little too experimental and left-field to really provoke genuine scares and jumps and provide pure (…) Continue Reading »

Q and A with Felix Colgrave, director of The Elephant’s Garden

by Lucile Bourliaud
This is a student film - did you have to respect specific rules? How much time did you have to complete it? I made the film over the course of 6 months. We were meant to submit a script and storyboard and such at the end of the first 3 months, but I instead submitted a description of the general concept and atmosphere, and a statement saying I was going to make up the film as I went rather (…) Continue Reading »
