SAFAR Film Festival 2025: Seeking Haven for Mr RamboCert-TBC
In Cairo’s crowded streets, 30-year-old Hassan (Essam Omar) faces eviction alongside his mother (Samaa Ibrahim) and loyal dog, Rambo. When a violent altercation forces Rambo to defend him, Hassan must navigate a hostile city in search of safety and confront his deepest fears along the way. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival and winner of the Yusr Jury Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival, Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo is a raw, tender portrait of resilience, belonging, and everyday survival.
Receiving its UK premiere as part of SAFAR 2025, Mansour’s debut offers a vital reflection on dignity, identity and masculinity in today’s Arab world.
Content notes: mild violence, dog bites, gunshot and blood splatter, partial view of a dead animal

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
