BME Film Screenings with Cinema for All.
In conjunction with Cinema for All, we are screening 4 fabulous films which are chosen by some of the diverse women’s groups we work with. These films are not screened in mainstream cinema therefore this a rare opportunity to watch these films in a women only and relaxed environment.

Bliss (15)
Set amidst Turkey’s natural wonders, Bliss is a riveting tale about love, honour, freedom and redemption.

When a 17 year old girl, Meryem, is found unconscious and dishevelled by the side of a lake, her family believes the worst – that her chastity has been lost. To uphold the family honour they turn to an ancient moral code that condemns Meryem to death. A distant cousin, Cemal, is ordered to carry out the task. Instead Meryem and Cemal embark on a surprising journey across traditional and modern-day Turkey in this unforgettable film.

Adapted from Zülfü Livaneli’s international best-selling novel, director Abdullah Oguz’s drama is filled with intensity, vivid cultural clash, fine music and some absolutely stunning scenery (the film was shot on the Sea of Marmara). But ultimately it is the figure of Meryem, a young woman struggling to live in a culture that condones the practice of female honour killings, which gives the film its heart. Meryem’s decision to live, and ultimately, to enjoy her life is the quiet revolution that ignites the entire story. The film will be followed by an informal discussion and refreshments will be provided.

This screening event is suitable for 16+ and open for women only.

Tuesday 8th December 7pm to 9.30pm
Glasgow Women’s Library
