Our Neighbor Bu Hamad
Music
Khaled is a young man in his twenties, whose curiosity is aroused by annoying sounds coming from the house of his neighbor Bu Hamad, but that curiosity leads him to what he did not expect.
Sandarah
Music
During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, a detachment of soldiers is sent to a home to arrest the family who live there. When they arrive, the house has been hurriedly abandoned and not a soul is to be found. The youngest soldier, a photographer, discovers something unexpected – and memories of happier times overwhelm him as he goes about his duties. Beautifully animated and deep with the emotions brought about by conflict, ‘Sandarah’ is a tribute to human benevolence.
A Picture
Music
Twelve-year-old Abdullah loves photography, so when his father gives him a new camera to reward him for getting good grades at school, he is thrilled. But while he is out and about taking shots, he inadvertently takes a picture of a crime in progress, and soon, the bandits are after him, intent on destroying the evidence. Dramatic with some clever comic relief, ‘A Picture’ is a great play on the old adage that crime doesn’t pay.
