The President’s Cake – CINEMA CLUB

We are thrilled to be screening this timely movie at The Island House Cinema for one week only. On Sunday, March 22nd a very special Cinema Club post screening discussion hosted by Maria Govan and The President’s Cake Executive Producer Kareem Mortimer will take place.

While people across 1990s Iraq struggle to survive the war and food shortages, the President requires each school in the country to prepare a cake to celebrate his birthday. Despite her efforts to avoid getting picked, 9-year-old Lamia is chosen among her classmates. The young girl must now use her wits and imagination to gather ingredients and prepare the mandatory cake in THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE.

The movie was shortlisted for this year’s Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film Category.
