Where: Theatre Of Digital Art Toda, Dubai, UAE

Anton Dolin brings impressive credentials to this presentation as the winner of the 2024 Enlightener Award and a member of the Golden Globe jury. His extensive background includes roles as a radio host, film reviewer for the television show "Evening Urgant," and editor-in-chief of the magazine "Art of Cinema."
A Journey Through Cinema's Dark and Light
The event explores how 2025's cinema landscape reflects our times, beginning with the vampire Nosferatu at the year's start and ending with Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. Dolin examines whether modern cinema serves as "a chronicle of everyday disasters or a recipe for salvation," particularly as Hollywood films tackle themes of good versus evil through superhero narratives.
The discussion will cover major releases including:
- "The Sinners" - battling forces of darkness
- "Superman" - stopping war
- "Fantastic Four" - saving the planet from destruction
- A new Avatar release
Celebrating Cinematic Artistry
Beyond blockbuster entertainment, Dolin will highlight the work of acclaimed directors who "try to find a source of light in the pitch darkness." The presentation acknowledges filmmakers Jim Jarmusch, Jafar Panahi, Nadav Lapid, Bong Joon-ho, Wes Anderson, and Paul Thomas Anderson, who rely on "talent, courage, a sense of humor, and the ability to feel the pain of others" rather than superhero spectacle.
The event promises to be both reflective and hopeful, as Dolin shares insights about films that will be remembered from this "turbulent season" while exploring themes of hope for better times ahead - both on screen and in reality.
