Saudi Dark Comedy Thriller 'Saify' to Screen in London on June 25th
Set in 2000s Jeddah, 'Saify' follows a scammer whose blackmail plan unravels after he finds a scandalous tape. The Saudi dark comedy screens in London at ICA on Wednesday June 25th. 'Saify', a Saudi dark comedy-thriller by director and writer Wael Abumansour, will screen at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London on Wednesday 25 June at 18:30. Set in 2000s Jeddah, the film follows a washed-up scammer whose latest blackmail scheme spirals out of control after he stumbles across a scandalous tape. What begins as a quick score soon unravels into a tense and unpredictable chain of events, blurring the lines between morality, power, and survival. Starring Baraa Alem, Husam AlHarthi, and Nour Alkhadra, 'Saify' captures a city caught between tradition and rapid change, offering a sharp portrait of social dynamics in the early 21st-century Gulf. The screening is part of a growing international presence for contemporary Saudi cinema. Free tickets are available for media and invited guests.

Axel Arigato extends still-new Eris sneaker line to men's after strong women's launch sales
Axel Arigato's latest sneaker, Eris, launched only last month but has seen strong demand so far with extra colourways and larger sizes for men requested. The brand clearly anticipated this and has added both to the offer as of this week. Eris is unisex but mainly targeted women at launch when it debuted with an immersive London event featuring musician Bea at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. Further launch events are planned in Copenhagen and New York next month. As the label's headline sneaker release of the year, it builds on a season of innovative footwear drops — most notably the Slow Runner and Tact Runner that 'distilled a decade of design into a new creative direction that ultimately led to the Eris'. The original launch palette was blue, yellow, and charcoal and now brown, oat, light grey, and pink have been added as has a full range of men's sizing. The company said the Eris name is a 'lifestyle statement for those who defy stylistic convention and reject being boxed in. It is made for the global, culturally curious and creatively driven individual, with this spirit artistically imbued into the design and fabrications of Axel Arigato's most innovative sneaker to date'. The mid-profile silhouette uses a series of 37 interlocking suede panels 'that sweep across the upper in fluid, sculptural curves - and hand-distressed to add textural depth and individual identities to every sneaker'. These contoured components are highlighted with tonal stitching, contrast nylon ribbing and a debossed sandpaper print 'to emphasise shape, form and texture'. Further detailing comes from dipped laces that weave through a double tongue, which incorporates a branded gel bubble. Subtle Axel Arigato logos are also found across the toe box and via embossing on the rear of the sole.
