Sunday Cinema Club, Sharjah Art Foundation’s newest summer film programme, offers screenings of regional classics, genre movies and animated features. Each screening is followed by a talk or workshop that further explores the film's cinematic language or social background.

Series 1: Summer of Wonder: Animated Fantasies for Children and Families

This series takes audiences on a wondrous journey through the magical world of animated films, where transformation and time travel become a vehicle for understanding the self and the world. Together, the three films show us how imagination can help navigate emotions, or overcome challenges and grow.

Series 2: Lunar Visions: Sci-Fi Films in the Space Age

This three-film series demonstrates how international filmmakers pushed past the technological limits of their eras to imagine the Moon long before humanity set foot on its surface. Spanning three decades of innovation, these films trace the evolution of space cinema, from the practical effects of the 1930s to the striking realism and prophetic AI of the 1960s. 

Series 3: Uprooted Realities: Identity in Postcolonial Arab Cinema

Delving into notions of belonging and displacement, this three-film series spans various West Asian and North African generations and political realities. It examines how camera composition and mise-en-scène articulate complex personal experiences.
