MUDDLE  EAST

Our main programme strand this year consists of outstanding films from the Middle East, many of them rarely screened in Britain and coming from IRAN, IRAQ, ISRAEL, EGYPT, LEBANON and KURDISTAN, showing the political and very human situations in some of the world's trouble spots.

Our second screen will feature a contrasting programme including the great French silent classic L'argent (Dir. Marcel L'Herbier, 1928). A selection of films from this year's featured director JUZO ITAMI, the maker of such film society favourites as Tampopo and A Taxing Woman many of whose comedies have never been widely shown outside Japan and BRIT-NOIR showing some fine examples of British film noir from the 1940s and 1950s.
