Ali Al-Hajri / Short Narrative / Qatar / 10 min / Original Language: Arabic / Interests: Horror

Synopsis

Khalid and Noura are in the delivery room expecting their first newborn. Instead of being overcome with joy, Khalid finds himself awash with unsettling fear and uncertainty. When Khalid tries to get closer to his newborn, he is revisited by those same nightmares within himself. One day, Noura leaves Khalid alone with the baby and what he hopes is an opportunity to feel connected with his son turns into much more of a struggle for clarity. Can Khalid face his inner demons and reconcile with these apparitions in his head?

Ali Al-Hajri is a Qatari filmmaker. He graduated from Drexel University with a TV Production and Media Management degree. Al-Hajri is interested in films that subvert realities humans create but, in a way, show the truth/rawness in them. He hopes to continue exploring ways of telling stories born out of inner conflicts. Professionally, he works at Qatar Foundation, where he produces/directs short documentaries. Currently, he's in post-production for his first short 'Kinship', a film exploring tensions within father-son bonds.
