The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Timbuktu? (2014) at East Dulwich Tavern on 15 September 2016


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Timbuktu? (2014) at 8pm on Thursday, 15 September 2016, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


A delicate balance between hope and despair, Timbuktu is Abderrahmane Sissako?s insightful drama about a family negotiating survival in the desert and the city shattered by an invasion of religious bigotry and violence.


Set in the legendary city of Timbuktu, the traditions and ways of life of its inhabitants and older tribal society are being overturned by an invasion of fanatical soldiers from outside the country. Director Sissako creates an interrelated series of characters and tableaux to show scenes of life in the traumatised nation. At the centre is the tragic story of a herdsman?s family, Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed) his wife Satima (Toulou Kiki) and their daughter. When Kidane angrily confronts a fisherman who has killed his cow, a chain of events with tragic consequences unfolds. A complex depiction of an age old society being transformed by contemporary technology and extreme religious views.


Sissako is one of the most interesting and ambitious writer directors; born in Mauritania, he grew up in Mali. This film is a fearless and poetic response to oppression and cruelty.


Director: Abderrahmane Sissako, writer: Abderrahmane Sissako and Kessen Tall, with Ibrahim Ahmed, Toulou Kiki, Abel Jafri, Hichem Yacoubi

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
