A rich reimagining of One Thousand and One Nights, complete with lavish sets and costumes, and shot in stunning locations across Iran, Yemen, Ethiopia and Nepal.
Framed by the story of a young man’s search for an enslaved woman who has won his heart, these erotic tales weave together poetry, desire, betrayal, love and diverse sexualities.
‘…a wonderfully relaxed and open puzzle of interlinked tales dedicated to the multiplicity of truth’ – TimeOut
Hot Summer Nights offers a curated selection of sizzling romances, road trips, suspense, stunning locations and a generous helping of nostalgia. View all screenings
Come along early to enjoy Hot Summer Nights in the NFSA courtyard, with live performances or DJ sets from 6pm and extended opening hours at our onsite cafe and bar.
