We are thrilled to announce the next edition of Maqamāt, a collaboration between A Kiss in the Desert and Zawya.

The programme’s namesake is the Maqamāt, a medieval concise literary format, with recurring characters adapting different roles in each Maqāmah like a short film.

This month’s programme is a special collaboration with BIAS-AME and Megawra as part of the Sightlines public programme. The program explores how filmmakers navigate urban space and how the city, in turn, is revealed, shaped, and reimagined through the cinematic lens.

The films are screened with Arabic/English subtitles.
