هذا هو الوقت لنحكي قصتنا ونجعلها عالمية! ادعمنا بالتبرع لجمع 4000 جنيه استرليني لإكمال فيلمنا الدرامي القصير ”لحم“.

فيلم "لحم" هو فيلم دراما قصير يدور حول أحداث غزة، يحكي عن اللاوعي البشري وتضارب أفعال الإنسان مع مشاعره الداخلية.

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 إنجليزي، تدفعه إلى مواجهة 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:

المواطن-

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.

رجل الحكومة-

رجل عجوز، ذو سلطة، غني جدًا وشره. 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.

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

تم تصوير الفيلم الحمد لله ولكننا لا زلنا بحاجة لتغطية تكاليف ما بعد الإنتاج من مونتاج، هندسة صوت، تلوين الفيلم، أي أموال يتم التبرع بها ستساهم في إكمال الفيلم بنجاح وتقديمه لمهرجانات سينمائية. دعمكم مهم.

"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.
