Captain Abu Raed, the winner of The Finnkino Prize 2008 is released theatrically on Friday, March 6th.


The tale of an elderly airport janitor mistaken for a glamorous international pilot by his working-class neighborhood kids, Captain Abu Raed is a straightforward heart-tugging melodrama that, while safe and conventional, is likable in numerous ways. Although highly evocative of its Amman setting, this first feature from Jordanian-born, Americaneducated writer-director Amin Matalqa feels more like an old-fashioned Italian or French picture in emotional tenor, and as such holds considerable appeal – – One of the film’s most welcome achievements is its casually diverse portrait of Amman, rarely seen in cinema. In an everyday, non-touristic way, the pic provides a strong impression of many districts across various economic strata.
