This cross-cultural satire, directed by Ben Sharrock and starring Amir El-Masry, subtly weaves together the hardship and hope of the refugee experience. The film is set on a fictional remote Scottish island, where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims.
The event is taking place on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, at Fabrica in Brighton. Tickets and details are available with the button beside this article.
The live oud performance will add an extra layer of depth to the film, which follows the story of Omar, a young Syrian musician searching for answers on the island. Alaa Wehbi's music is a perfect complement to the film's themes of hope and resilience.
