Madiha's These Silences Are All the Words explores the public libraries of Karachi, Pakistan while Memorial for the Lost Pages and Brown Sahab and the Pomeranian both offer a

perspective on a country sharply divided along linguistic lines.

Zara Saghir is also leading a series of weekly sessions around the films with Mums 2 Mums community group.

Super Slow Way brings Reetu Sattar’s Harano Sur (Lost Tune) to The Pavilion in Thompson Park. The work focuses on the harmonium, a musical instrument tightly integrated into the traditional culture of Bangladesh but in danger of disappearing.
