 In a small town in the early 2000s, Abdulrahman a young Emirati boy wants to keep pigeons. On his way home one day he finds a pigeon that won't fly. He must convince his traditional father and fight off jealous neighbors to keep it though. Through the bond he forms with Noor the pigeon, he learns the true meaning of love and loss.  Director Thabit AlMawaly From as early as he can remember, Thabit has always loved the art of visual storytelling. A graduate with a degree in Digital Production and Storytelling in 2011, he pursued a filmmaking career. Being situated in the UAE allowed Thabit to work on numerous international productions with Imagenation Abu Dhabi, an Oscar-winning production company, as a third AD. These real-life experiences allowed him to learn from internationally renowned filmmakers like Michael Bay and Pierre Morel. Almost as soon as he was able Thabit has experimented in creating and competing in various local competitions, winning at the Ibdaa Awards in 2009 and has since competed in various film festivals with a number of short films and documentaries. He has experimented with creating online content with great success, done various commercial work, and even brought an immersive theatrical production to life with “Eat Dubai” in 2015.
Director Statement I think stories that start with profound questions are the ones most worth telling. In this case, it was looking at why we choose to lock up the things we love. Rethinking our approach to the things we hold dear in our lives is pretty universal, and I wanted to tell a story that could be relatable across the board while still entertaining audiences. I hope that viewers will be left smiling while still giving some thought to the themes of this film. |
