Renner's career expanded with significant roles in major franchises, including “Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “The Bourne Legacy.” He also originated the role of “Hawkeye” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) “Avengers” films, becoming a key figure in the superhero genre.

EAST OF NOON
Director: Hala Elkoussy
Stuck in a sandy enclave in the middle of nowhere, aspiring musician Abdo divides his time between digging graves and creating music using household implements. Along with his Nunna, he is plotting his escape to a wider world while scheming to survive the everyday tyranny of the enclave boss, Master Shawky. A story that is very much about the power of story-telling, with some of the flavour of the Arabian Nights, the evocatively titled East of Noon is shot largely in black and white. This surface beauty gives its familiar theme of youthful revolt a surreal, fantastical quality, allowing ideas that would otherwise be taboo to float free.
