As an example of resilience, Kurdish cinema is hard to beat; a stateless people using cinema as a way of preserving their languages, traditions and identity in the face of enduring hostility across nations and across the world. The result is some of the most imaginative and moving films ever made, unlike anything produced in Western Europe. This is why Sanctuary Cinema Club, in collaboration with the London Kurdish Film Festival, is pleased to present this day showcasing some of the best of contemporary Kurdish film.
