Join us for a screening of Ben Sharrock’s critically adored Limbo, with a live oud performance by Alaa Wehbi.

Limbo is a wry, funny and poignant cross-cultural satire that subtly sews together the hardship and hope of the refugee experience.

Set on a fictional remote Scottish island, it follows a group of new arrivals as they await the results of their asylum claims. Among them is Omar (Amir El-Masry), a young Syrian musician who shoulders the weight of his past and of his grandfather's oud as he wanders the strange but epic landscapes searching for answers.
