Special screening of 'Wadjda'

"Phenomenal. One of the best films of the year" - Indiewire
"Wonderful" - Empire
"Poignant, playful and politically charged" - Total Film

Join us for and intimate evening of film to support The Body Narratives' upcoming exhibition and workshops.

Wadjda is a tale of a 10 –year old spirited girl, who longs to own a bike to race against her friend Abdullah. You’d have to be made of stone not to be won over by the rebellious, yet endearing heroine of the story played by 12 –year old Waad Mohammed.

Wadjda has become renowned for being the first film to come from Saudi Arabia directed by a woman in a notably male-dominated kingdom. The director Haifaa Al Mansour gives viewers a rare insight into the barely known country by contrasting the independent-minded Wadjda with the conservative setting of Riyadh society.
