S THE WOLF Short Film Competition

S THE WOLF

A middle-aged man reflects on his tumultuous adolescence through intricate and deeply personal musings all tied to his hair growing or receding. Over time, we accumulate meaning into the larger journey of his life.

Sameh Alaa is an Egyptian filmmaker whose short films FIFTEEN and I AM AFRAID TO FORGET YOUR FACE have received international acclaim, with the latter winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes. He has served as a jury member at Cannes and Cairo and is currently developing his first feature film.
