Made in Qatar Film Programme II
Once again, the Ajyal Youth Film Festival is pleased to celebrate the exciting state of filmmaking at home with our annual slate of work made right here in Qatar. This year, we present two programmes of shorts, including narratives, documentaries, thoughtful essays. The films were made independently, through Qatar University or Northwestern University in Qatar, or with the support of Doha Film Institute’s workshops and funding programmes.
The actions of men and machines become a graceful dance as Aisha Al Muhannadi transforms the making of bread into a mesmerising vision.
The repetitive actions of men and machines become a dance of grace and beauty in ‘Makh'bz’ as Aisha Al Muhannadi transforms the making of bread in Madinat Khalifa into a mesmerising vision. Following the stages of the breadmaking process – from mixing ingredients through kneading, baking and packaging – ‘Makh'bz’ is a stunning meditation on the time, energy and skilled craft that go into providing Doha with its daily bread.
