Bedouins of The Wind

A filmmaker lives for 100 days in the desert of his childhood to quietly witness a Bedouin tribe, their camels, and a poetic culture divided between glittering Dubai and desert winds — set against 100 days to the nation’s biggest race, as two generations wonder what it means to remain Bedouin in a vanishing world.

This film is a poetic ode to a vanishing world that few ever get to witness. I grew up in Dubai, where tradition and progress move in parallel, where the old and the new exist side by side but rarely touch.

The Bedouins have always been part of the city’s story, even if not often visible to most. I have always been drawn to that space in between—to what is disappearing, to the stories that are slipping from the edges of history.
