King Shahryar in
The Thousand and One Nights
Directed by Ghina Fawaz
Many years ago, a story was stolen from the land of people who named the stars. In this adaptation of ألف ليلة وليلة (The Thousand and One Nights), this epic tale is reclaimed as an act of resistance. Through oral tradition, poetry, puppetry, movement, and music, this production blends Arabic folklore with contemporary stories, confronting the realities of colonialism and celebrating the resilience of Indigenous communities around the world.

“‘ألف ليلة وليلة The Thousand and One Nights’ takes back the tale”
Coming Soon!
Armid in Quietus: Last Night
Written and Directed by Andy Lynn
QUIETUS Last Night is a supernatural indie short film about grief, friendship, and getting one last chance to say goodbye. Georgee, a former human, recruited by the office of the afterlife and his grim-reaper supervisor, Lotti, have plans to celebrate the only night of the year Grims can interact with the living - Halloween.
