WAREHOUSE 68, ALSERKAL AVENUE
AL QUOZ INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
DUBAI, UAE
A film that evokes the unknown and the fundamental mystery of our existence, Stalker is presented in collaboration with Cinema Akil as part of Foretold Now, Alserkal Avenue’s summer programme.
Stalker (1979), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, is a metaphysical journey through an enigmatic post-apocalyptic landscape. A hired guide—the Stalker—leads a writer and a professor into the heart of the Zone, the restricted site of a long-ago disaster, where the three men eventually zero in on the Room, a place rumoured to fulfil one’s most deeply held desires.

About Foretold Now
From food trends and financial forecasting, to predicting election results and end-of-the-world scenarios, we have never been more consumed with trying to know what the future holds. Rather than attempting to grasp what this future is, Foretold Now, Alserkal Avenue’s summer programme, examines what drives us to predict in the first place.Cinema Akil, DUBAI
