The Alleys

Wed, Jul 19, 2023
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2023
  • and
  • Contemporary Arab Cinema
Directed by Bassel Ghandour
With Emad Azmi, Baraka Rahmani, Munther Rayahneh

Set in a gritty, cramped neighborhood in East Amman, Jordan, writer and director Bassel Ghandour pieces together a violent mosaic of extortion, forbidden love, and ungodly alliances in his directorial debut. The Alleys centers the relationship between a young street hustler and his more upright lover, as an ensemble of interweaving characters tries to uphold a shoddy web of violent street promises.
