“THE EYE OF A HAWK” is a filmed narrative born out of the desire to learn about the ancestral World Heritage art recognized by UNESCO, in which the protagonist is the hawk At-Tair Al-horr (purebred bird). The story is of a journey of stark contrast between futuristic development in Saudi Arabia and its traditions, a dire need to defend the identity of a country, where the past is full of revelations for future generations.
The appeal of Arab culture follows a path through a contemporary fairy tale, where the images evoke the immense latitude of this very same culture, in a celebration that is an accelerating factor for a new intellectual renaissance towards socio-economic patronage and a religious world that is ever more European.
