Ae Fond Kiss - Festival Film Club @ DI
Come along to our brand new film club events in the Dick Institute’s large screen event space. Tickets for these events include a drink (beer/wine/soft drink) and popcorn. A licensed bar will be in operation throughout the evenings of each film showing, closing 30 minutes prior to the end of the film.
To celebrate Burns’ birthday, the Dick Institute Film Club brings you Ae Fond Kiss. Casim is a second generation Pakistani from Glasgow. Working as a DJ in Glasgow's coolest venues, Casim dreams of buying his own club. His parents Tariq and Sadia are devout Muslims and plan for him to marry his beautiful cousin Jasmine, who is soon to arrive in the UK. Plans go awry when Casim meets Roisin. A teacher at his sister Tahara's school, Roisin is different from any girl he's ever met. She's gorgeous, intelligent and definitely possesses a mind of her own. She and Casim soon fall deeply in love. But Casim knows all too well that, even if he wasn't due to marry, his parents would never accept a 'goree' - a white girl. As a Catholic, Roisin finds that her own community isn't very supportive either. When their relationship is discovered, the repercussions of the scandal reach far and wide and sparks fly as cultures clash and personalities collide.
