AN array of award-winning films was screened and events for the whole family were held on the second day of Ajyal Film Festival 2019 at Katara Cultural Village on Tuesday.
Families and children were also entertained by a special screening of Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s The Secret World of Arrietty (Japan/2010) at Katara Building 18 at 4pm.
