Belgian--Moroccan director Kadija Leclere will attend the event, in which guests will watch her film Bag of Flour (Le Sac de Farine) from 9pm.

The film - in French and Arabic with English subtitles - begins in 1975, as eight-year-old Sarah receives a visit from her biological father to the orphanage in Belgium where she lives.

Although he has come to take her to Paris for the weekend, Sarah wakes up in a small, poverty-stricken town in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Passing her teenage years amid political and social turmoil, Sarah longs to return to the Belgium of her childhood.

Leclere will preside over a Q&A session after the 92-minute movie, which was shown at international film festivals including Dubai, Rome and Brussels.
