Curzon announces a star-studded Q&A tour for new film LAYLA.

Curzon is delighted to announce an exciting Q&A tour for Layla, a beautiful, honest and joyous examination of queer Arab experience on screen. 

Writer and director Amrou Al-Kadhi will be visiting several cities across the UK for Q&A screenings of the film, hosted by some very impressive names of the LGBTQ+ community, including Mason Alexander Park, Jameela Jamil, Self Esteem, Jason Okundaye and Russell T Davies (see full details below). Acclaimed writer Shon Faye previously hosted a special Q&A at the BFI Southbank. 

In addition to the tour, from Wednesday 13 November, Curzon Soho will be hosting an exhibition of the renowned fashion photographer Tim Walker’s special photoshoot taken on the set of Layla, along with some of the fantastic costumes featured in the film.
