LAST VISIT: US Premiere Film Screening
Join Al-Bustan for a 24-hour virtual film screening of LAST VISIT directed by Abdulmohsen Aldhabaan.This will be the first public film screening in the US of this film. There will be a Q&A discussion with the director and producer Mohammed Alhamoud, moderated by Joseph Fahim.
Plot summary: A two-hander reminiscent of director Ingmar Bergman, Aldhabaan tackles generational disconnection, failure of communication, inherited toxic masculinity and the subtle tyranny of tradition in this remarkably ambitious yet subtle chamber piece.
Through its narrative depicting a nation at a crossroads but not knowing where to head next, LAST VISIT can lay claim as Saudi Arabia’s first real arthouse feature [Joseph Fahim].
