AFLAMNA is a one-day film programme that brings together three short Saudi films followed by a conversation with the directors.
AFLAMNA films include:
When Red Blooms, winner of the Red Sea’s 48-hour Filmmaking Challenge, Tala Alharbi’s film ventures into the mind of a girl who sets unrealistically high expectations of herself, leading to self-destructive behaviours and a morbid fixation on perfection.
Mother Eve: A family’s difficult but endearing journey that re-defines motherhood.
Tourette, a story that revolves around a young man with Tourette Syndrome in search for a job after graduation. He faces reality when misconceptions about Tourette Syndrome prove to be a challenge.
