Title: Win tix to special screening of 'What Will People Say' - Brisbane- Qld Post by: culturebird on Friday 06 July 2018, 11:35:07 am Win tickets to special preview screening of the Volvo Scandinavian Film Festival!
Thanks to the the Volvo Scandinavian Film Festival and Palace Cinemas we have 10 double passes to giveaway to a preview screening of What Will People Say! The double life of a teenager comes crashing down when her parents send her against her will to Pakistan, in Iram Haq’s evocative, semi-autobiographical and multi-award-winning story of family, community, and culture. As the film opens in Norway, Nisha (Maria Mozhdah) is balancing two separate lives, slipping out and enjoying the Oslo nightlife with her high-school friends while playing the dutiful daughter at home with her doting but deeply conservative parents and extended family. But when Nisha’s budding relationship with a friend is discovered, her father (Adil Hussain, Life of Pi), egged on by his influential social circle, takes drastic action to protect his daughter from the “pitfalls” of life in the West. What develops is both gripping and eye-opening, and very much of-the-moment in terms of cultural relevance and the status of women in society. http://modmove.com/competitions/win-tickets-to-a-special-preview-screening-of-the-volvo-scandinavian-film-festival/ |
