The project unfolds in two parts, an exhibition at Blitz, and accompanying book of over 200 portraits alongside aesthetic, anthropological and literary essays on aspects of physiognomy, identity and pho- tography, each written in the different languages that have influenced Malta throughout its history – Arabic (Walid Nab- han), English (Alexandra Pace), French (Philippe Parizot), Italian (Virginia Monteforte), Maltese (Leanne Ellul), and Spanish (An- toine Cassar). The exhibition is being held at Blitz, Valletta. En- trance is free. DECEMBER 27-20 Bahar Zmien (Of Time and the Sea) Peter Sant's debut feature film, BAĦAR ŻMIEN (Of Time And The Sea) is an allegorical film about a stasis and slow change that explores the usefulness and pain of memory, and attends to the contemporary situation of a life – a life where physicality and memory have eroded to create an ethereal and bizarrely har- monious world. In this world, a crippled king whose kingdom has crumbled lives in a remote corner of an island called First in the wake of a bizarre malady of mysterious origin with his two daughters. The King forces his younger daughter to work tirelessly, building rubble walls in strange megalithic-type con- figurations in a feverish attempt to stave off a return of the virus. Bahar Zmien will be at Spazju Kreattiv Cinema on 27, 29 and 30 December at 8:30pm.

At the christening of Princess Aurora, Maleficent, the evil Fairy, casts a spell on the baby princess. Eighteen years pass and the spell puts Aurora to sleep. Prince Charming with the help of Dame Nanna Kola and Muddles fights Maleficent and her whole army to break the evil spell and rid the land of the evil Fairy once and for all. Sleeping Beauty is a rip roaring tale that will take the audience, young and old, from one adventure to another, with side splitting gags, laugh out loud slapstick, chases and good old "good versus evil". The panto will be held at the Manoel Theatre from 23 De- cember to 6 January. 23 DECEMBER – 5 JANUARY Jack and the Beanstalk – The Panto All his life young Jack has only ever had one dream - to become a famous knight.

One day, his village is attacked by giants who take away the girl he loves - presumably to eat her. Jack needs to pluck up the cour- age and climb that beanstalk to make the transition from zero to hero, from nobody to somebody, from loser to legend.
