Movie screenings at MIA Auditorium 

The Doha Film Institute Cinema (DFI Cinema) is bringing two distinctive voices in cinema as part of its Ajyal Film Series screenings this Thursday at the Museum of Islamic Art Auditorium.

Walls (2017) directed by Qatar-based talent Nibu Vasudevan will be screened followed by a Q&A session with him. An animation film, Walls is set in a decaying world that has become nothing more than a trash heap.

A charming, critically acclaimed children’s fantasy, A Little Princess tells the story of 10-year-old Sara Crewe, who has been left in a respected New York City boarding school while her British father heads overseas to fight.
