Film Festival - Ali & Nino

About This Event

Embark on a journey through time and culture with our special film event, "Ali & Nino". Join us for a mesmerising cinematic experience that delves into the crossroads of history, tradition, and the enduring power of love.

"Ali & Nino" is a poignant tale set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, where the clash of cultures and the turbulence of historical events provide a riveting canvas for a timeless love story. The film, adapted from Kurban Said's classic novel, takes us on a sweeping adventure through the landscapes of Azerbaijan, revealing the cultural intricacies and historical forces that shape the destiny of its protagonists.

Set in the melting pot of Baku during the era of World War I and the Russian Revolution, "Ali & Nino" captures the essence of a world in flux, where boundaries are redrawn, and traditions are tested. The film beautifully weaves together the love story of Ali, a Muslim Azerbaijani, and Nino, a Christian Georgian, against the backdrop of geopolitical shifts and cultural transformations.

Join us for an evening of cinematic enchantment as we screen "Ali & Nino" at Five Star Cinemas - New Farm, Brisbane. Immerse yourself in the evocative landscapes, vibrant traditions, and turbulent history that serve as the backdrop for this extraordinary love story. Through this film, we aim to celebrate the cultural richness of Azerbaijan while shedding light on the universal themes of love, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of humanity.

Join us on 15 December 2023 for an evening of cinematic wonder that promises to transport you to a world where love knows no boundaries, and the echoes of history resonate through the tapestry of human connection.
