Our River…Our Sky12A
In the winter of 2006, three years after the US-led invasion of Iraq, sectarian violence is rife across the country. In a small Baghdad neighbourhood, the lives of ordinary Iraqis become intricately entwined as they live through the turmoil of the ongoing occupation. Documentarian Maysoon Pachachi’s award-winning fiction debut provides a compassionate and true-to-life depiction of life during war.
Reviews
‘Pachachi captures the atmosphere of Baghdad, and her large cast of actors excels in the naturalistic mode of a film beautifully shot in widescreen’
Hugh Barnes, The Arts Desk
‘[An] ambitious, multi-stranded drama…’
Wendy Ide, The Observer

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
