Join us for a double film screening and Q&A with the filmmakers and Saharawi activists to help raise money for Sandblast!
All funds raised will go towards Desert Voicebox; our after school programme providing music education and English language lessons with Saharawi children in the refugee camps in Algeria.
After the screenings, we will be hosting a Q&A discussion with UK-based filmmakers Carolina Graterol, Daniel Petkoff, Peter Shields, Nuni*, a local Saharawi activist, and Sidi Breika, the Polisario's UK representative. The Q&A will be hosted by Paula Beegan from the Cambridge African Film Festival.
Thanks to the generous support of ActOne Cinema, we will also be using their fully accessible gallery space to showcase Saharawi art and photography, a silent auction, traditional Saharawi tea ceremonies and more. The gallery space will also be open to the public from May 30-June 9 with a photography exhibition and sale from Sandblast founder Danielle Smith and Spanish photographer Quintina Valero.
