places of the soul (2023)
Directed by Hamida Issa
Produced by Hamida Issa & Justin Kramer/The Film House (Qatar)
Feature Documentary (73 mins)
A Qatari woman embarks on an environmental expedition to Antarctica, and journeys into her past in Qatar to explore the places that rejuvenate her soul. The juxtaposition of two landscapes - the ice desert of Antarctica and the sand desert of Qatar is an expression of duality. The film is a love letter to the filmmaker's mother, Mother Nature and her motherland.
