Zeyad ( Z ) Alhusaini
When two childhood friends – now grown up and dabbling in the illegal alcohol trade – find a cache of stolen guns, they jump at the chance to get rich quick. Kuwaiti director Zeyad (Z) Alhusaini worked for 5 years on this dramatic action film, the first of its kind to be set in the Gulf, that takes the audience along with its naïve protagonists on a wild, non linear, ride through a murky world of arms dealers, terrorists, mercenaries and small-time gangsters. Alhusaini shows a colorful high energy version of modern Kuwait - a melting pot of peoples and cultures with a thriving rap scene. The film explores an intimate story about a man’s journey to self-realization through inevitable self destruction, set against a gritty fast paced reality, humorous social commentary and innovative action.

LATE SHIFT

Director: Petra Volpe

Petra Volpe’s salute to caregivers is executed with strength and admiration. Led by a nuanced and meticulous performance from Leonie Benesch, Late Shift is an eloquent plea for compassion, as well as being a gripping story about a day in the life of a hospital worker. Floria (Benesch) is a nurse on an understaffed surgical ward, where she balances the constant demands of her patients — medical and emotional — knowing that every decision she makes (or neglects) could have fatal consequences. Floria, and Volpe’s camera, are constantly on the move to beeping monitors and crash carts in the ward’s confined quarters. As Switzerland’s Oscar submission, Late Shift delivers high drama and a sharp question: who will care for the carers?

THE SETTLEMENT

Director: Mohamed Rashad

When 23-year-old Hossam's father dies in a factory accident, management of the factory offer a deal: a job for Hossam and his younger brother, 12-year-old Maro, in exchange for burying the truth. With a criminal record and a disabled mother to support, Hossam has little choice but to accept the job, even as his brother insists on working beside him. Hossam is pulled in multiple directions — between the truth of his father's death, a first love affair with a disappearing coworker and his community's dark reputation. This thriller has an intriguing atmosphere, and to emphasize the characters' oppression, director Mohamed Rashad uses sound — especially the overwhelming noise of the factory machines — to immerse the audience in a corrupt world.
