Glimpses of Now

About This Movie

Glimpses of Now is an intriguing dive into Saudi Arabia's urban landscapes and its people. Shot by Mohammad Alfaraj, the film’s use of both video camera and mobile phone footage creates an intimate, almost personal touch. The pacing feels organic, allowing moments to breathe, which draws you into the everyday lives captured on screen. There’s this rawness in the visuals that stirs a sense of authenticity, making you feel like a quiet observer rather than an outsider. The sound design is equally compelling; it blends ambient sounds with narrative threads, offering a layered experience. The ongoing nature of this project since 2015 adds a unique depth—it feels like you're watching a living document unfold.
