I Wish We Were Dancers/9min
Confined to a wheelchair from multiple sclerosis, a girl creates a vivid dream world in which she vibrantly dances as a ballerina. This lyrical Kuwaiti short is an official selection of the Dubai International Film Festival 2011 and Gulf Film Festival 2012.
Rough Hands/97min
Mustapha is a forty-year-old barber in Casablanca. His clients are retired high-ranking government officials and power brokers. On the side, Mustapha has an underground business "facilitating" paperwork, using his privileged access to grease the wheels of bureaucracy. Zakia is a thirty-year-old schoolteacher whose fiancé has immigrated to Spain. Longing to join him, she asks Mustapha to forge her papers and an unexpected destiny awaits. Populated by characters who must bend the system to get by, Mohamed Asli's follow-up to his acclaimed debut In Casablanca, Angels Don't Fly is a bold indictment of the type of society produced by a corrupt police state.
