Independent films are rarely celebrated like blockbuster and popular movies, but the Sharjah Film Platform acts like a literal platform to showcase movies that challenge and make spectators rethink their reality.
Manager of the Curatorial Department at the Sharjah Art Foundation Jiwon Lee is back to tell us about the various activities to expect out of the festival, including panel discussions and workshops in collaboration with the U.S. Mission to the UAE, exclusive film screenings, a networking mixer, music and the Sharjah Film Platform Award.
