Lectures MARCH 27 ROTOT - Mediterranean Routes through Intercultural Dialogue This seminar organised by the cultural association In- izjamed aims to address how different local realities can be brought together to ref lect a wider, more common Medi- terranean reality, or set of re- alities, that inter-relate with one another. The aspect of the Phoenicians being a sort of mythical, legendary ar- chetype of common Mediter- ranean roots that, however, still inspires many cultural operators in seeking ex- change through intercultural dialogue, as opposed to neo- colonial and neoliberal eco- nomic measures, will provide us with a framework to which all of our speakers can relate. The seminar will take place on Wednesday 27 March 2019 at 6pm at the Malta Society of Arts, Palazzo De La Salle, Republic Street, Valletta, and is free of charge. Proceedings will be in English. maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 MARCH 2019 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Eden Cinema St Julian's Tel. 23 710400 How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (PG) 11:15, 14:00, 16:15, 18:30 A Dog's Way Home (PG) 11:35, 14:00, 16:15, 18:25, 20:35 Instant Family (12A) 11:25, 13:55, 16:25, 18:55, 21:25 Escape room (18) 14:05, 16:25, 18:40, 20:55, 23:10 Fighting with my Family (12A) 11:20, 14:05, 16:25, 21:05, 23:35 Captain Marvel (3D) (12A) 14:30, 18:00, 21:00 Captain Marvel (12A) 11:05, 13:45, 16:30, 20:00, 22:45 Border (12A) 16:20 Boy Erased (15) 20:55, 23:25 Rosie (12A) 14:05, 21:05 The Aftermath (15) 14:05, 16:25, 18:45, 21:05 Miss Bala (15) 14:05, 16:20, 18:40, 21:00 Ben Is Back 11:35, 14:10, 16:30, 18:50, 21:10, 23:30 Carmelo (12) 18:45 Everyone Knows (15) 14:20, 17:45, 20:35, 23:20 What Men Want (15) 13:45, 16:15, 18:45, 21:15, 23:45 Let's Read Together (U) 10:00 Empire Cinemas Bugibba Tel. 21 581787, 21 581909 Escape Room (15) 16:00, 20:50 Cold Pursuit (15) 10:35, 13:25, 16:00, 18:30, 21:05 Fighting With my Family (12A) 10:45, 16:00, 18:40 The Aftermath (15) 10:50, 13:15, 15:45, 18:30, 21:00 Miss Bala (15) 11:00,13:25, 16:00, 18:40, 21:05 Ben Is Back (15) 11:05, 13:30, 16:00, 18:20, 20:45 What Men Want (15) 10:45, 13:20, 15:55, 18:30, 21:00 Captain Marvel 3D (12A) 21:10 Captain Marvel (12A) 10:30, 13:10, 15:45, 21:10 CINEMA Gianni Morandi will be in Malta on 12 April
