Film-on-Sunday is showing Timbuktu this Sunday, February 14, at 7.30 pm, in the Queen’s Hall, Narberth.

In the dunes outside Timbuktu, Kidame, a cattle farmer, has built up a peaceful life with his family. Meanwhile, the Jihadis have taken over Timbuktu and are intent on imposing their version of Islam on its citizens where music, laughter, cigarettes, and even soccer have been banned. Kidame’s isolation ends when a quarrel with a neighbour gets him embroiled in the perverted Jihadi justice system. A cry from the heart about bigotry, arrogance and violence, Sissako’s film also seeks to understand the motivation behind those responsible for the oppression. Despite the sobering nature of the subject, Timbuktu revels in the joy of people, music and film, making this a witty, beautiful and highly memorable film.

Doors open at 7 pm for you to enjoy homemade puddings, tea and coffee with wine and beer available from the bar. A selection of DVDs from the Film-on-Sunday extensive library are available for two week rental periods free of charge. The Queen’s Hall is equipped with the very latest DVD projection equipment and there is comfortable tiered seating for the perfect viewing experience.

Film-on-Sunday’s current season of films includes an eclectic mix of English speaking and foreign language films being shown at the Queen’s Hall fortnightly through March 2016.

The next film showing on Sunday, February 28, will be Dark Horse, the true unlikely story of the race horse Dream Alliance.
