Muslim Women of Cambridge Present an Islamic Heritage Film

Join us at Cineplex Cinemas Cambridge to watch a presentation - Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World.

This ninety-minute film takes audiences on an epic journey across nine countries and over 1,400 years of history. It explores themes such as the Word, Space, Ornament, Color and Water and presents the stories behind many great masterworks of Islamic Art and Architecture.

The film explores the richness of Islamic art in objects big and small, from great ornamented palaces and the play of light in monumental mosques to the exquisite beauty of ceramics, carved boxes, paintings and metal work. It revels in the use of color and finds commonalities in a shared artistic heritage with the West and East. The film also examines the unique ways in which Islamic art turns calligraphy and the written word into masterpieces and develops water into an expressive, useful art form.

Narrated by Academy Award winning performer Susan Sarandon, this dazzling 90-minute documentary reveals the variety and diversity of Islamic art. It provides a window into Islamic culture and brings broad insights to the enduring themes that have propelled human history and fueled the rise of world civilization over the centuries.

After the film, we will have a 30 minute meet and greet with our fellow community members. Refreshments will be provided.
