Rain, the first animated film fully produced by Doha Film Institute, will be screened on Sunday at Katara Drama Theatre, Building 16. The film is an adaptation of a regional folktale.
The film is by award winning director Rahab El Ewaly, with music by the critically acclaimed international composer Nitin Sawhney.
The narrative follows the main character Rain, on a journey into the desert. After a tragic event, he seeks refuge in a drought stricken Bedouin camp where he is faced with challenging expectations.
The animation was developed in a studio at Katara Cultural Village by a carefully selected team of animators from Qatar, Egypt, Syria, and India.
El Ewaly will attend the screening to introduce the film and to participate in a Q&A following the screening with an exclusive peek behind the scenes of the production.
