On the 5th of September, 2007, the fishing boat Nuevo Pepita Aura was shipwrecked 14 miles out at sea, south east of Barbate in Cádiz, southern Spain. Of the sixteen crew members, eight survived, three have died and five are still missing. Taking the shipwreck as its starting point, the documentary WHERE THERE'S A CAPTAIN... brings to the surface the working and socialeconomic conditions of coastal fishermen from the villabe of Barbate. A local story that is, in turn, global. A ensemble tale featuring a group of sailors who collectively reflect and, using their own ideosynchratic, creative language, construct a discouse that focuses on precarity and labour risks, displacement and the globalisation of the free market ideology. Without future prospects, as part of their day to day life, they express their demands for other living and working conditions that go beyond the old, prevailing master-slave dialectic.

Donia Amar is one of Al Azma’s earlier works, it essentially observes the relationship between two pop singers, Mostafa Amar and Donia - each from a different social class - and their fans. Al Azma follows the two pop stars and their fans around recording fragments of concerts, interviews, and rehearsals at their studios. The film differs from mainstream documentary by using a wide range of images and techniques to reveal and interpret the wider context of the social and political reality of popular culture in Cairo.
