Sharjah International Children's Film Festival finale: One to remember
The winners of the 4th Sharjah International Children's Film Festival
Sharjah - The festival came to a close with a gala screening of Sophie's Misfortune written and directed by French director Christophe Honoré.
With an eclectic array of screenings, galas, performances and green carpet experiences for all to enjoy, the six-day festival showcased international film submissions, workshops, activities and games for children and adults alike.
Sheikha Jawaher bint Abdullah Al Qasimi, Director of FUNN and Director of SICFF said, "The past few days have been extraordinary. We have seen the festival unite an international community, bringing people together from all walks of life. On this important occasion, I would like to thank everyone who helped make this new chapter in Sharjah's success story possible. I would also like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah for her continuous support in making the festival a grand fiesta. As we gather here to bid a farewell to the current edition, we promise that the next edition will continue to exceed expectations."
SICFF closed its curtains with a gala screening of Sophie's Misfortune written and directed by French director Christophe Honoré. The plot revolves around a naughty little girl named Sophie, who enjoys disobeying her mother and engaging in mischievious pranks. Always insisting on having her own way, Sophie can be described as gluttonous, lazy, and even dishonest. The film's theme of the power of goodness over mischief comes through its witty dialogue and mesmerising cinematography, which are its standout features.
On the closing day of the Festival, SICFF honoured films and filmmakers with awards in various categories.
