MEIFF again

The National has exclusive coverage here. I saw Ibn Babil/Son of Babylon yesterday, and it's beautiful and very very sad - about a Kurdish boy and his grandmother in the days after Saddam Hussein's fall in Iraq. I think the screenings here were the first public viewings ever, and if you have the chance to see it - do!

I hope for the opportunity to see Heliopolis tomorrow (photos here) as well as No one knows about Persian cats and Scheherazade, tell me a story later this week.
