FESTIVALS OCTOBER 19 Hamrun Chocolate Festival Fifth edition of the Hamrun Chocolate Festival taking place in the main streets of the town, featuring stalls and record-setting exhibitions from chocolate sculptors, among them Andrew Farrugia, who last year in Brussels set a new Guinness World Record for the longest chocolate structure in the world. Three short films by Dustin Cauchi will be screened at St James Cavalier Cinema, Valletta. The films are: Adieu Friedrich (2012), Sant Sant (2013) and Fenetre Fenetre (2013). The films will run for a total runtime of 55 minutes. The three films are not related to each other in terms of narrative or progressive conventions, but rather share temporal characteristics, namely that of starting off at a particular, arbitrary point. This arbitrary beginning, understood as a lack of introduction that the films share, gave rise to the idea of a 'lost epigraph'.
