Ashjan Al-Humous's film at Chicago Festival
The film "Al-Baraniya," which is the first feature-length fictional work by Dutch-Egyptian director Ashjan Al-Hams, depicts the life of a contemporary Egyptian village and explores themes of independence and rural traditions. The film is inspired by her personal heritage, drawing from her return to her family’s village in Monufia Governorate, capturing the struggle between familiar village life and the dream of moving to the city. It focuses on the story of a girl named Amal, who juggles between her desire for independence and the allure of urban life. The work highlights a realistic and careful cinematography that reflects the emotions and challenges of life in Egyptian rural areas, using an amateur cast to give it a documentary-like feel. The film is supported by European and Arab institutions and is participating in the Chicago International Film Festival, where it competes in the "New Directors" competition, marking an important milestone for the film in the North American market.
