Dir. Nadine Labaki
Thursday 3rd & Friday 4th July 7:30pm

Director Nadine Labaki plays Layale, a stylist in a Beirut neighbourhood beauty parlour, where she and her colleagues and customers share their joys and woes. Unhappy affairs, aging, an impending wedding and gentle romance show life’s ups and downs both in the context of a middle-Eastern society and as universal human needs and wants in the modern world, with humour and humanity.
"These stories are told in a lingering, sensual way, the imagery always full of light
and rich colour. ...Absolutely spellbinding." Jenny Kermode, Eye For Film.

When Laura decides to purchase and restore the abandoned seaside orphanage in which she grew up 30 years earlier, the atmosphere of the place has an unnatural effect on the imagination of her 9-year-old son.

"Haunting and heartbreaking, The Orphanage delivers a double whammy of chills both real and supernatural." BBCi.
