Featuring a Special Q&A Session with Director Khalid
al-Zadjali

The film: Picturesque vistas and a tight-knit
community, little seen by the rest of the world,
construct the framework for this Omani feature film.
The serene inhabitants of a small coastal town,
steeped in tradition, have always made their living
from fishing and boat-building. When a young fisherman
suddenly and mysteriously goes missing, local
superstition, compounded with the threat of
urbanization, challenge not only the town's peaceful
existence but also its livelihood. Friends and family
of the missing boy wait patiently as the rest of the
locals confront their futures. Al-Boum stars Omani
actors Saleh Za'al and Zuha Qader. Duration: 105
minutes. In Arabic with English subtitles.

Omani director and writer Dr. Khalid Abdul Rahim
al-Zadjali is Assistant Director General for
Production of Oman TV. He is also President of the
Oman Film Society and President of the Muscat Film
Festival.
