Our season presents some outstanding, award winning films, such as the magnificent Israfil from Iran, Have a Nice Day, a smart, fun take on contemporary China, the gorgeous Heavenly Nomadic from Kyrgyzstan, and the intriguing The Gulls from Europe’s only Buddhist country, Kalmykia, where East meets West and an amazing mix of cultures live side by side. Look out for our lovely camel logo, sit back and wend your way across the desert sands and high mountain passes on a trip along the Silk Road.
Many thanks to Professor Birgit Beumers, a world authority on Central Asian cinema for all her generous help with the research and selection of titles for our Silk Road season.
