If you love switching off with a good film, you’ll be thrilled to know that Sharjah Film Platform is returning for a new edition this month, with an early bird deal that’s hard to say no to.
Running from October 30 to November 8, the 10-day festival is offering movie buffs the chance to watch as many films as they like for just Dhs40.
With the early bird pass, you’ll also get access to exclusive festival merchandise and if you attend seven film screenings, you will be rewarded with a Dhs500 voucher to spend at Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF). You can collect your merchandise and voucher from the SAF Shop during the festival dates. Do note, your voucher will only become valid after the seven-screening requirement has been met.
The screenings take place at Mirage City Cinema – Sharjah Art Foundation’s open-air theatre in Sharjah’s historical quarter, with additional screenings taking place at other cinemas across Sharjah.
