My project entitled Framing the short films practice in Oman: narrative significance, representation and culture looks at the film practice in Oman, especially shorts filmmaking. It studies the narrative structure, film culture and representation. It also examines the role of authority, power, and censorship in the current status of Omani filmmaking practice. This project is sponsored by the Ministry of Higher Education in Oman.
