Movies on the Big Screen

The President’s Cake

Tues, May 5, 7PM

 

2025 | Drama | Directed by Hasan Hadi, Starring Baneen Ahmad Nayyef  | 1h 45m | PG-13

While people across 1990s Iraq struggle to survive the war and food shortages, the President requires each school in the country to prepare a cake to celebrate his birthday. Despite her efforts to avoid getting picked, 9-year-old Lamia is chosen among her classmates. The young girl must now use her wits and imagination to gather ingredients and prepare the mandatory cake in THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE

Exceptional on screen debut” – The Hollywood Reporter

“This is an impressive first feature from the writer-director Hasan Hadi, a sharply observed, bittersweet, child’s-eye odyssey that avoids cute-kid cliches.”  Kevin Maher, The Observer (UK)
