Two films are being shown tonight in Howard Gardens, Mdina, as part of Utopian Nights: Inside the Border.

These are The Suffering of Others, a Self-Examination (16 minutes) and The Dubai in Me – Rendering the World (77 minutes).

The short film is an eyewitness account during the shoot of a rescue operation in the Mediterranean. The other was shot on location in 2009 and deals with the business model of Dubai. It includes footage of the online platform Second Life as well as DVD material gathered at the 2008 Citiscape Real Estate Fair.

The film, by Christian Von Borries, shows similarities of those rendered realities with the real world of Dubai. It has a special focus on the world island development, while searching for a description of the real work conditions in Dubai. The director will introduce the screening.

The films will be shown at Howard Gardens in Mdina at 8.30pm. Entrance is free. For more information about Utopian Nights: Inside the Border, visit www.valletta2018.org.
