We say that Cinema Space is an institution already when it comes to community film showings in the capital.
This cinema event is running screenings all year round regardless of the season and weather. We’ve seen it grow from strength to strength since its beginning from twofour54 to its current home at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
For the month of October, movie fans will be treated to restored classics like The Thief of Bagdad, La Isla Minima, Kwaidan, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and Psycho.
