Theeb

Naji Abu Nowar / AE, JO, GB, 2015 / 100 min.

Topnotch classical adventure film, with stunning shots of the Jordan desert. Theeb, a young Bedouin boy, has to find a way to survive in the West-Arabian desert where the British are challenging Ottoman rule. Director Naji Abu Nowar worked with a largely non-professional cast and received a prize for his film at the Venice festival.
