The Al Qattara Arts Centre will feature two screenings of short films as part of the Al Qattara Cinema Programme.

The programme will commence with a screening entitled ‘Laymoon’ by Abdulrahman Al Madani, followed by ‘Hamama’ by Nujoom Alghanem.

Laymoon       
Duration: 15 minutes
Directed by: Abdul Rahman Al Madani

A neglected housewife’s persistent attempts to restore the interest of her bad-tempered husband in their marriage prove futile. Influenced by her best friend, she realises she needs to do more than just prepare a healthy meal.



Hamama
Duration: 64 minutes
Directed by: Nujoom Al-Ghanem

Hamama is nearly 90 years old and is a legend across the United Arab Emirates as a practitioner of traditional medicine. Blessed with the incredible gift of healing, she faces increasing physical frailty that threatens her work and livelihood.
