“CONTAMINATED” is a short film that was written and directed by the Kuwaiti film maker Moe Al-Saeed and a couple of days back he got word that it was officially selected to be part of the upcoming Miami Fashion Film Festival. Moe is the guy behind some great locally produced videos including my two favorites the Happy Kuwait video and BirdTalk: Dance.
He’s is still working on a trailer for “CONTAMINATED” but for now I was able to get the film synopsis:
God Shiva starts the tandav cosmic dance of death to wake the “children” up. She gives them beauty and power. The children blossom and as they reach their crescendo they get contaminated. Their time is up and Shiva destroys what she has once created.
Sounds pretty strange and interesting so can’t wait to see it.

Just a question, why is it that when even an Arab guy wants to be cool he change his name from Mohamed to Moe, I personally think that Mohamed or any spelling of it is a Nicer name than Moe. If people fear or disrespect your religious roots then you should not be dealing with them and if you want to change your name change it to some thing cool at least.
Actually, he proudly calls himself Mohammad. It’s evident in his Vimeo channel username which is linked in the post. http://www.vimeo.com/mohammadalsaeed
Sounds like an interesting concept but the Hindu god Shiva is male, not female and the Tandav is not just about death. It encompasses creation, preservation and destruction.

Came here to say the same thing!
Btw, there was a Kuwaiti movie at Cannes this year.
