Sheffield Film Days returns to Amman from 24-29 March 2018 with films to be screened at the city’s Rainbow Theatre. Organised by the Royal Film Commission of Jordan in collaboration with the British Council, the festival will open with 69 Minutes of 86 Days, a 70-min documentary directed by Egil Håskjold Larsen in Arabic and Norwegian with English subtitles. This documentary takes us into three-year-old Leans world as she makes her way from Syria to Sweden with her family.
Other documentaries to be screened at the six-day festival include The Workers Cup, a close and personal look inside Qatars labour camps, where the World Cup is being built on the back of a million-plus migrant workers. The film follows a team of labourers living a real-life version of fantasy football.
The festival will conclude with a screening of a collection of Jordanian short documentaries produced at Jordan Stories Workshop in Amman in 2017. The workshop is organised by the Royal Film Commission Jordan in partnership with the British Council Jordan and the Scottish Documentary Institute.
