Caramel (Nadine Labaki, 2007) is a Middle Eastern romcom that challenges binding cultural traditions whilst celebrating female friendship. Showing at The Garden Cinema as part of our Women Aren’t Funny season.

Our very own Abla Kandalaft is joined by Laila Alj, an actor and theatre producer, to discuss and contextualise the film. In their post-film discussion with a Garden Cinema audience they cover bringing humour from the Middle East to the West, and bring insight to the economic, religious and queer milieu that gives rise to the film’s interweaving storylines.
