"Flesh'' is a dark drama questioning the human subconscious as well as dealing with complex themes such as cognitive dissonance around what is currently taking place in Gaza. The film is written by Eman Diab - a writer, producer and director based in the North West of England. We have a small crew working on the film which is currently in the pre-production stage. Although quite a lot of the crew onboard this project are working without the expectation of any remuneration, we have some vital costs which we unfortunately cannot avoid. It is for this reason we are requesting your generosity in helping us to get this film produced.

FILM LOGLINE

Harry, a young man, grapples with his conscience, leading him to ignore events of injustice happening around him. But, a chilling confrontation with David, a government official, compels him to confront his complicity in perpetuating them.

The film relies on captivating visuals and immersive sounds to convey the emotional depth of Harry's journey. "Flesh" invites audiences to reflect on the impact of individual actions in shaping the world we live in. Through its sensory experience, this short film aims to provoke thought and inspire viewers to break the cycle of indifference and cognitive dissonance.

CHARACTERS

DAVID - a man in power, is extremely rich, arrogant, vile, and physically imposing. His hands are soaked in blood, embodying cruelty and cunning. He poses a significant threat.

‎"لحم"

‎هو فيلم قصير، دراما قاتمة، تدور حول أحداث غزة، يحكي عن اللاوعي البشري وتضارب أفعال الإنسان مع مشاعره الداخلية.

‎كتب الفيلم إيمان دياب - كاتبة ومنتجة ومخرجة تعمل في شمال غرب إنجلترا. لدينا فريق عمل جاد وعلى قدر من المهنية يعمل على إنتاج الفيلم. على الرغم من أن الكثير من أفراد الطاقم العاملين بالمشروع يعملون دون توقع أي مقابل مادي، إلا أن لدينا بعض التكاليف الحيوية التي لا يمكننا تجنبها للأسف، ولهذا السبب نطلب منكم التبرع للمساعدة في إنتاج هذا الفيلم بكرم وتجديد نية.

‎ملخص الفيلم: في ليلة طويلة يتصارع شاب مع ضميره الذي يحدثه بآلام الآخرين ولأن عقله لا يتحمل فيقرر تجاهل أحداث الظلم التي تحدث من حوله. لكن مقابلة مروعة مع مسؤول حكومي، تدفعه إلى مواجهة حادة مع نفسه حين يكتشف تواطئه بشكل ما في استمرار الأحداث.

‎يعتمد الفيلم على المشاهد البصرية والأصوات المكثفة لنقل العمق العاطفي لرحلة الشاب. ومن خلال تجربته الحسية يدعو فيلم "لحم" الجماهير إلى التأمل في تأثير الأفعال الفردية في تشكيل العالم الذي نعيش فيه.

‎شخصيات الفيلم: هاري - شاب ثلاثيني، يعتقد أنه لا يملك سُلطة ويخاف من أولئك الذين لديهم سُلطة. ينتمي إلى الطبقة المتوسطة، يثقل كاهله مشاعر الذنب والخوف والحزن. غالبًا ما يلجأ إلى تشتيت نفسه للهروب من المواقف الصعبة.

‎دايفيد - رجل قوي ، غني جدًا، شره، وضخم جسديًا. يتصرف بحرية مطلقة تتعدى على ممتلكات الآخرين. لا يحب الإزعاج ولا يتقبل أن يفسد عليه أحد وقته الهادىء مع نفسه.

الفيلم بدون حوار -لكن هناك أصوات تفاعلية- ليصل إلى أكبر قدر ممكن من الدول دون الحاجة إلى لغة معينة.

‏‎ستذهب الأموال التي يتم جمعها من خلال حملتنا مباشرة إلى تغطية تكاليف ما قبل الإنتاج والإنتاج وما بعد الإنتاج. مثل؛ تكاليف مواقع التصوير، معدات التصوير، مونتاج الفيلم، تصميم الصوت، تعديل الألوان والترجمة.

‏‎إن طاقمنا المتفاني متحمس جدًا لإحياء هذا المشروع بدافع إنساني ومعنوي وسيساهم تمويلكم بشكل كبير في إنتاج الفيلم وإكماله بنجاح.
