Wohooo!
Sharjah Film Platform (SFP) is an annual festival that showcases independent cinema, documentary filmmaking, and moving image, allowing audiences to discover new approaches to film and art!
The ten-day event is centered on Mirage City Cinema (MCC), an open-air theatre in Sharjah’s historical quarter, and includes a variety of local and international films, talks by filmmakers and industry professionals, musical concerts, and mixers.
Sharjah Art Foundation organizes SFP, which highlights recent cinematic achievements by international filmmakers and artists, notable classics from around the region, and experimental films that challenge the notion of what film practice is today.
The festival’s fifth edition will take place from October 21 to 30, 2022, at Mirage City Cinema, Sharjah Institute of Theatrical Arts, and Gallery 4 of Al Mureijah Art Spaces.
Workshops
A varied program of talks, workshops, and masterclasses runs alongside SFP, ranging from discussions about emerging issues in moving image production to in-depth knowledge sharing among practitioners.
Concerts and Gatherings
SFP hosts open-to-the-public musical performances, networking mixers, and other gatherings in the atmospheric venues of Al Mureijah, bringing together industry professionals and cinephiles.
This year’s program, Alt Lens: Hi(stories) and Voices from the Borderline, is presented in collaboration with the United States Mission to the UAE and the Division of Arts and Humanities at NYU Abu Dhabi as part of American Film Week.
Sessions will feature mixed-race and minority American filmmakers and will cover a variety of topics such as identity, migration, diaspora, race, and social justice, as well as more practical topics such as challenges and opportunities in the film industry, documentary film production, and support for underrepresented filmmaking talent.
