Three Veils
Producer
The lives of three young Middle Eastern women intertwine as they struggle to defy tradition and create their own realities. From an arranged marriage and a lesbian love affair to an abusive family situation, the film delicately tackles some of the issues Middle Eastern women are confronted with today.
Американский Восток
Producer
Лето в Лос-Анджелесе, жарко. "Отечественная Безопасность" установила уровень угрозы красным цветом; они ищут нескольких арабов, которые, как утверждается, являются террористами. Мустафа, египетский иммигрант, который управляет магазином фалафелей, обращает к себе внимание ФБР; они задерживают его. У него есть другие проблемы: его молодой сын-подросток больше не хочет быть мусульманином; его сестра, медсестра, возражает против Мустафы, устраивающей её брак с кузеном из Египта. У нее есть не арабский жених. Омар, сотрудник Мустафы, является борющимся актёром, который не хочет играть только террористов. Мустафа надеется открыть настоящий ресторан и есть потенциальный партнёр Сэм, еврей, чьи семейные традиции. Какую цену американская мечта?
Saudis in America
Producer
Since that tragic day, Saudis living in America came under scrutiny as many Americans wondered about Saudis; who are they; what are they doing in the US; why do they hate us; do they support Osama Bin Laden; how do they feel about 9/11; and most importantly why do they oppress their women? Saudi filmmaker Fahmi Farahat takes his camera and invites us into his own life in an attempt to answer these questions. He captures the views and attitudes of his family and friends, who are either living or visiting the US, through which he explores the many issues that surround Saudis in America. The film is Producer by Ahmad Zahra and Executive Produced by Mohannad Malas. Other credits include Director of Photography John Taylor and Music Composer Vicente Avella who starts the opening sequence of the film with his own rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, a fusion of Arabic and Western style music. The film also features the song My Favorite Passages by Ani from her Album "One".
