BROTHERS | 2021 | Short

Written and directed by Mike Mosallam (Breaking Fast), the short film comprises both scripted scenes and modern dance to relay a coming-of-age story about two Arab Muslim brothers (played by Martijn Sedgfield and Viktor Simon). In the film, their relationship is tested in young adulthood after one of them is revealed to be gay. Ultimately, their bond wins out against adversity. “Brothers” had great acclaim at the Beirut International Film Festival, the Shanghai PRIDE Film Festival and Nevada’s OutWest, among other festivals.
