Sid To Attend Abu Dhabi Film Festival for ‘Miral’

By  | 

Alexander Siddig is confirmed to attend the gala presentation of Julian Schnabel’s new film Miral at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival on October 21. Sid plays the father of Frieda Pinto’s character in this sweeping multigenerational saga of four Arab women living under Israeli occupation, which created a lot of buzz in Venice and Toronto. Miral is entered as part of the Narrative Feature competition at the festival.

Mel started a fan site for Siddig in 1996, as a way to learn HTML and to promote his charitable endeavors. In 1998, he proposed that it become his official fan site; she quickly agreed and a long-distance friendship was born. You can reach Mel at mel[at]sidcity[dot]net.
