Keif al-Hal? (Arabic: ) is Saudi Arabias first big-budget film, produced by Ayman Halawani (of Prince Al-Walid bin Talals Rotana Group). Directed by Izidore Musallam, it stars Hind Mohammed, the first Saudi cinema actress.
Saudi audiences were able to see the film on pay-per-view through an agreement with Showtime Arabia. The films title roughly translates into, "Hows it going?" or "How are you?". The film, shot in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a comedy-drama that recounts the story of a family torn between modernity and tradition in Saudi Arabia.
Although there is clerical opposition to public screenings of films in Saudi Arabia, media reports suggest that the ban on public display of movies there is also in keeping with the monarchys refusal to permit unlicensed public gatherings.
