Fresh from sell-out screenings in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra the Arab Film Festival caravan pulls up at Adelaide’s Palace Nova Eastend Cinema on Rundle St this weekend.

Saturday’s action-packed thriller City of Life takes us into the underbelly of one the world’s most fascinating and fast-changing cities. The very first feature film to be made in the UAE, City of Life uncovers the way cultures from across the globe are mixing it up in Dubai. Throw in fast cars, sex, ruthless ambition, cultural pressures and tons of money and you have a nail-biting thriller that’s not to be missed.

On Sunday we travel to Egypt for a provocative drama about feminism, power and politics told through the stories of four women. Scheherazade, Tell Me a Story follows Hebba Younis, a fiercely independent media personality who agrees to scale down her outspoken opinions for the sake of her husband’s career. But she finds another way to the truth through women’s stories.

The Arab film festival will round out its national tour with the grand finale in Brisbane on 30 and 31 July with City of Life and Scheherazade, Tell Me a Story.
