New month, new director in focus!
Lamakaan invites film lovers to immerse themselves in the visionary world of Sir Ridley Scott, the British filmmaker whose cinematic eye has shaped generations. Born in South Shields, England, in November 1937, Scott rose from art school to global acclaim, crafting films that blend atmospheric visuals with philosophical depth. From the dystopian future of Blade Runner to the primal terror of Alien, Scott’s work explores humanity’s struggles with technology, identity, and the pursuit of survival. His historical epics, such as Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, showcase his flair for grandeur and emotional resonance, while thrillers like Thelma & Louise and Black Hawk Down reveal his command of tension and character development. With over $5 billion in global box office earnings, multiple BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe awards, and a knighthood for his contribution to the arts, Ridley Scott remains a towering figure in cinema. Join us at Lamakaan for a curated selection of his retro classics—films that continue to inspire, provoke, and mesmerize. Whether you're revisiting old favorites or discovering them anew, this festival promises a cinematic journey through time, space, and the human condition.
