Italian visual artist Yuri Ancarani's exquisite documentary ‘The Challenge’ enters the surreal world of wealthy Qatari sheikhs as they race SUVs up and down sand dunes, fly their prized falcons around on private jets, and take their pet cheetahs out for desert spins in their souped-up Ferraris. The result is a film jaw-dropping not only for its displays of wealth, but for its ecstatic cinematic beauty.

Screening with short film ‘Tripoli, Quiet’, directed by Rania Attieh and Daniel Garcia
