This month's screening - The Edge of Heaven, by Faith Akin (2007, 120 min) - is about destiny, love, death and the devil. This deeply humanistic, multi-layered drama follows the stories of six people – four Turks and two Germans – whose lives intertwine in Hamburg and Istanbul and who mature and transform after encountering death.
Painting exhibition By Alamin Hasan
Date: till Thursday, 04 December
Time: 11am till 6pm
Venue: Galerie Zoom, Alliance Francaise
As a sculptor, Alamin prefers forms over colours but he wanted his painting experience to be very personal and different. Visually, his paintings are like framed windows to someone's personal life where you can see just the protagonists and nobody else. The use of vibrant primary colours with expressionistic strokes symbolises the constant, confused state they are in and it represents maybe the core concept of love!
