Kuwait University is hosting a film festival that starts today, November 12th, and continues until Wednesday, November 16th.
The films start at 7 pm everyday, and each day will be dedicated to films from a different country.
For people who love foreign films (me) and for people who don’t like going to the cinema in Kuwait (also me), this is the perfect opportunity for some much needed quality film time!
For a full schedule and a better idea of what films are showing when, please click on the picture.
If you have any interest in stuff like this, please try to attend! Things like this really need to be encouraged as much as possible, and we need more!
See you there!

Q, none of the films are really
“foreign” … they’re mostly arabic films from “the gulf” … the arabic gulf that is.
I’m still going, see you there people
Q, TUKFA … call me like an hour (and a half) before they start to wake me up, I didn’t sleep since yesterday.
TUKFA YA WALALD!

the whole thing is overrated, have no time for it.
November 12th, 2005 at 1:16 pm
I’m going to Tuesday’s (and maybe Monday’s) show..
The rest I’m not so sure about
I’ve seen Leila
And Ram, Al Awadhi’s was a disappointment..
Although I appreciate the effort
And by the way, Q, my sister beat you to it

وليه الحمد ناقصه مشاكل
باكر محور جديد للإستجواب
السماح بأفلام “أجنبية” بالجامعة تهدد ثوابت الأمة، وخصوصاً إن معقل الشباب حذفة عصى منهم، قصدي كلية الشريعة
ولا خبري عتيج وودوهم مكان ثاني

I will go today with few friends. I think its worth watching..its funny that I attended some of the shooting and saw some clips during the editing when i was studying in NY, but never seen the whole movie!
Leila, I have it on DVD..
But am really excited to see the Yemeni one..I hope it will not be a dissappontment like the movie Adnan albachachi did which covered his return to Baghdad.i saw it in NY 3 or 4 months back.

I really appreciate KU doing those kinda things… but they just haaaave to mess up somewhere!
1) I’m in KU and I didn’t hear about this
2) It’s the most hectic week.. projects and midterms :S
November 12th, 2005 at 9:13 pm
So apparently it’ll be bloggers week on campus ;P and to think I decided not to go merely because of the numerous midterms I am facing this week well ;r
November 12th, 2005 at 11:35 pm

and that wasnt offered for a bi3tha

I’m planning on going to Leila and the rest, I already seen Al-Awadhy’s film, was a good effort, coulda served as a CNN special, not an indy movie though.
Q, call me if you’re going alone.
Honestly, the yemeni film interests me the most!
