YOUNG SONS OF THE DESERT
15 November at 20:00
In times past, when the people of Qatar relied on the strength of their traditions and skills to survive the extreme environment of their desert home, children learned life’s essential lessons by following examples set by their elders. Young Sons of the Desert tells the heartfelt story of a desert sheik passing down the hard-won wisdom of Qatar’s forefathers to five young boys from the city. Together they embark on a journey across some of the world’s toughest desert terrain that binds Qatar’s old generation to its young and ensures that the nations proud traditions are delivered to the guardians of the nation’s future.
Production: Qatar National Day Celebrations Organizing Committee.
THE LOVE OF BOOKS
17 November at 20:00
War-torn Bosnia in 1992. The city of Sarajevo is besieged and burning. Great art treasures are lost in the flames and only one library remains. Amid bullets and bombs, a group of book-lovers risk their lives to rescue 10,067 irreplaceable Islamic manuscripts. At stake is a nation’s history. Using first hand testimony and dramatisation, this film is a gripping tale of wartime Sarajevo, and also of the importance of books to the identity of a people.

HOSPITALITY PROGRAM (Arranged. Registration is required at Information Center)
PRIVATE VISIT OF CHURCH OF THE SAVIOR ON BLOODOne of the main sights of Saint Petersburg. This church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded by political nihilists in March 1881. It contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world.
THE RUSSIAN BALLETThe Mariinsky Theatre is a historic theatre of opera and ballet in Saint Petersburg. Opened in 1860, it became the preeminent music theatre of late 19th-century Russia, where many of the stage masterpieces of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov received their premieres. Today, the Mariinsky Theatre is home to the Mariinsky Ballet, Mariinsky Opera and Mariinsky Orchestra.
PRIVATE VISIT TO FABERGÉ MUSEUMThe Fabergé Museum is a privately owned museum which was established by Viktor Vekselberg and his Link of Times foundation in order to repatriate lost cultural valuables to Russia. The museum’s collection contains more than 4,000 works of decorative applied and fine arts, including gold and silver items, paintings, porcelain and bron.
PRIVATE VISIT TO STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUMThe State Hermitage Museum is a museum of art and culture, the second-largest art museum in the world. It was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. It has been open to the public since 1852.
