"Atash is undoubtedly a beautiful film. Abu Wael is arguably the most exciting Arab film-maker to have emerged in more than a decade."
SIGHT & SOUND
Winner of the International Critics' Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, this beautiful and powerful debut feature from the brilliant young Arab filmmaker, TAWFIK ABU WAEL, is also an important groundbreaking collaboration between a Palestinian writer/director and an Israeli producer, financiers and crew - the first of its kind.
Featuring haunting music, stunning cinematography, and incredibly moving performances from the non-professional cast, ATASH is a complex, assured and vivid first feature from an exciting filmmaker, and one to watch for the future.
