'Schleierhaft' and new Film Festival Selections
2013, 2nd September:
'Schleierhaft', which means something like mysterious but is also a clever wordplay with the word schleier (the veil or burqa), is a drama centered on an Egyptian family in Vienna, Austria. When Tahir's Son Adel sees his father trying out a Niqab, a cloth covering the face and worn by some Muslim women, he is confused and soon tells his mother who begins to worry.
This touching short film about tradition and family will be screened at LET'S CEE Film Festival 2013 in Vienna, Austria.
