Joud

Using an experimental structure derived from pre-Islamic

literature, this ancient poem for modern times is an epic that

takes in the reaches of the Kingdom. An immersive journey

across diverse walks of Saudi life, the film sheds light on

cultural and geographic treasures. Free of dialogue, this

immersive experience vibrantly illustrates the dramatic

transformations that have forged contemporary Saudi Arabia.
