After its presence at Cannes Film Festival last month, Bahraini short film Central Market by Saleh Nass is selected for the Short Films Official Section at Valencia International Film Festival, making it the only Arab film taking part in the official competition. The festival runs from 19 to 26 June, 2015.
A ten-minute short, Central Market is written and directed by Saleh Nass.
The film has had a busy festival schedule after premiering at the Montreal World Film Festival in August last year. It then went on to screen at Dubai International Film Festival, Calgary International Film Festival, and Tampere Film Festival among many other festivals and film events.
In 2012, Saleh Nass’ film Lu’bba screened at more than 20 international film festivals, most notably Slamdance Film Festival. Nass has made several short films, including Also Travelling (2004), Phone Call (2005) and The Body (2006). He is currently working on his next feature film Grace Period with producer Paul Baboudjian.
