Anwar is a sci-fi short film where the titular character has to decide whether or not they want to become immortal with the help of the “everence” program. His father, Ali, has passed away, thereby leaving his mother, Mona, with the uphill task of convincing a child to essentially convert himself into an android. With the Earth in a state of decline, due to environmental and man-made factors, time is against this small unit. And while all of humanity races towards everlasting life, Anwar decides to seek the simple pleasures that come from the finiteness of mortality. I sat down for a virtual chat with its director, Fawaz Al-Matrouk, and had an in-depth conversation about his short film’s themes, visuals, and more.
