Supposedly, this took place a few days ago in Kuwait. I’m surprised the bakala has a security camera. [YouTube]

If you’re interested in the tech behind the film, it was shot by Tarek Jammal with a Canon 5D Mark III using the 24-70mm f/2.8 Sigma lens. The film was composed of around 9,000 photos and they were color corrected in Alien Exposure before compiling them in a Mac app called Time-Lapse and then edited in iMovie.

I can’t make out what mall this is and I actually wouldn’t call it a fight since it’s just chair throwing. [YouTube]

Thanks Infinite Driver
This is the first time I see this footage which was filmed by the Dutch navy. The video quality is pretty choppy but it still gave me goosebumps. [YouTube]
Old Kuwait Fire Brigade Footage
This was uploaded by the Kuwait Fire Department. Basd on the cars I’m guessing it’s from the 1960s. [YouTube]
Kuwait in Hollywood & Vines
“Hollywood & Vines” is the first film directed via Twitter and shot entirely on Vine. For four days, people around the world worked with the director to share in the creation of a single story about travel, adventure and finding your place in the world. This is the result of that global experiment, featuring 100 Viners from everywhere from Kansas to Kuwait.
Sahel – الساحل from Moayad Hassan on Vimeo.
Shot during the first hours of the morning by the beach at Mangaf and Fahaheel in Kuwait. It shows the lives of the few all-nighters and early-morningers and what they are up to, which is interestingly varied as can bee seen.

Short Film: Tiles
tiles from Dana Aljouder on Vimeo.
Filmed in a neglected expat housing complex in Hawalli, this out of context mirage disorients the familiarity or nostalgia of the space. The multicultural neighborhood vibrates with a multicultural working force who have consciously migrated from their diverse backgrounds to participate in the daily routine designated by a profiting developer. The tiling of the colonnade, as is the tiling of the dress, is reflective of the blurring of these expat cultures to camouflage within the existing- the existing which is not only foreign to them but foreign to the space – creating the out of context “Where am I?” phenomenon. These diverse cultures try to adapt to a “?” culture imposed by another country whilst struggling to identify between pre-imposed ethnic stereotypes and their traditional heritage. The freedom of the body is limited to the disproportion of the imposed cage, irritated within the larger cage of the structure.
I love the tiles. They don’t make buildings like they used to.
