In 2014, the Think:Film Award was given for the first time to a film showing in Forum Expanded. The prize, which includes a presentation at Arsenal and at the Cimatheque in Cairo, is sponsored by the Allianz Cultural Foundation and honors a work that uses its medium to reflect on geopolitical positionings, expand realms of aesthetic experience and bring about a change in mental perspectives. The prize was awarded to Amie Siegel's PROVENANCE (2013). The film follows the global trade of furniture from the modernist city of Chandigarh designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. In reverse order, it leads from the sale of the furniture at auction to its restoration and international dispatch from India. In 2013, Siegel put PROVENANCE up for auction at Christie's in London. LOT 248 captures the event.

The screening will take place in Zawya Cinema , in presence of Amie Siegel:
