DIFF 2010 - Muhr Emirati Shorts 1
Solo
A film with some good sense of movie making and a slight attempt at it, but unfortunately we see the pre-lude only as there is no sense of build or climax or end. The story of a musician's struggle for survival in todays world, constructed around the incident of him getting rejected for a marriage proposal based on his financial standing.
Hana ( Rewind)
Good cinematography and thats it, the rest of the movie was the directors exploration with the rewind button.
Malal
Predictable short story, decent screenplay, good selection of background score, and good scenic picteresque camerawork. Wish the actors used were better as metaphors dint come through at all. Characters were not established convincingly, weak storyline, unnecessary dialogues, the screenplay did not ask for any! Should have been called 'The elephant' instead.
The story of a emirati couple on thier honeymoon in Kerala and the womans search for excitement, adventure and an elephant.
Wind
Good cinematography, very good frames great visual feel to the movie. Very slow screenplay, almost intentionally vague, very contrived 'arty' feel. Good acting, interesting background score but too conceptual to relate any metaphor. Story of water parched land and the quest for water. P.s the name is a mystery.
Sabeel
Great meaningful depiction of the other side or aspect of the emirati spectrum. Well taken shots, good cinematography and camerawork. Excellent performances and very good simple story. Story of a poverty struck emirati family, sick mother and two sons and thier struggle to keep her alive and surface above circumstances.
