EAST END FILM FESTIVAL
NQV: THE 36TH PARALLEL
SATURDAY APRIL 28TH, 16:00 @ OLD SPITALFIELDS MARKET, LONDON, 120mins
Is being true to yourself crossing a line? From Tunis to Tehran, Baghdad to Istanbul, one line connects these stories exploring the borders that bisect reality and desire, identity and geopolitics. For many of these films and their makers, their existence alone is transgressive. These are essential stories for testing times.
