Jawad Altawil as Sheikh Omar Beblawi in Boy from Heaven (2022). Photo: ATMO About the film Adam, the son of a fisherman, is granted a scholarship at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo. When Sheikh Al-Azhar, the highest authority in sunni Islam suddenly dies, a power struggle starts; who will become the next Grand Imam? At State Security, investigator Ibrahim has been ordered to make sure it will be the one the president wants. When his informant inside Al-Azhar gets brutally murdered, Ibrahim needs a replacement, someone without connections or contacts. Adam fits the part perfect.
New initiative This title has world-wide distribution and SI will guide you to the distributor in your country. In case there is no distributor, SI will help arrange a screening. Financial support can still be granted for the peripheral costs surrounding the event.
Footnote Shortlisted for the Academy Awards (the Oscars) 2023. Screening materials are only sent from SI when local distributors are unable to deliver for physical screenings.
