EXHIBITIONS NOVEMBER 15– DECEMBER 13 Wiccna WIĊĊNA is an intimate and collective compendium of lith-printed photographic portraits; a quiet celebration of the immeasurable variety of faces that inhabit or pass through the Maltese Islands. 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 photography, each written in the different languages that have inf luenced Malta throughout its history – Ara- bic (Walid Nabhan), English (Alexandra Pace), French (Philippe Parizot), Italian (Virginia Monteforte), Mal- tese (Leanne Ellul), and Span- ish (Antoine Cassar). The ex- hibition is being held at Blitz, Valletta. Entrance 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 alle- gorical film about a stasis and slow change that explores the usefulness and pain of mem- ory, and attends to the con- temporary situation of a life – a life where physicality and memory have eroded to cre- ate an ethereal and bizarrely harmonious world. In this world, a crippled king whose kingdom has crumbled lives in a remote corner of an is- land called First in the wake of a bizarre malady of mys- terious origin with his two daughters. The King forces his younger daughter to work tirelessly, building rubble walls in strange megalithic- type configurations in a fe- verish attempt to stave off a return of the virus. Bahar Zmien will be screened at Spazju Kreattiv Cinema on 27, 29 and 30 December at 8.30pm. CHRISTMAS 23 DECEMBER – JANUARY 6 Sleeping Beauty – The Panto From the producers who brought you My Fair Lady & Mamma Mia, FM Thea- tre Productions are back this Christmas at Teatru Manoel with the wonderful tale of Sleeping Beauty. At the christening of Princess Aurora, Maleficent, the evil Fairy, casts a spell on the baby princess. Eighteen years pass and the spell puts Auro- ra to sleep. Prince Charming with the help of Dame Nanna Kola and Muddles fights Ma- leficent 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 slap- stick, chases and good old "good versus evil". The panto will be held at the Manoel Theatre from 23 December 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 courage and climb that beanstalk to make the transi- tion from zero to hero, from nobody to somebody, from loser to legend.
