The first screening for the Cinema of the World club!Fresh from a 'sold out in 15minutes' screening at the Africa in Motion Film Festival in Edinburgh, we are pleased to present Touki Bouki(1973), a classic piece of African Film Art. Young lovers, Mory and Anta, dream of Paris and an escape from the dead-end clutches of Dakar, Senegal. Only when that dream becomes a tantalising reality do they realise that in pursuing their dream, a sacrifice must be made - a sacrifice far greater than either were expecting. The Cinema of the World club is an open invitation to people of different nationalities to get involved in programming films and events for the cinema.
