Doha Film Institute is proud to present a new program to feature emerging filmmaking talent in Qatar. This “Made in Qatar” program is created to support both student and independent filmmakers and to give them the opportunity to bring their voices on to the global stage. This is a collection of short films that are either made in Qatar or made by those who call it home – be it a Qatari national or a non-local resident.
Presented By Doha Film Institute as part of Year in Culture
Fluffy is a cute little hamster who just can't catch a break! Every day he patiently waits in his cage at the pet store for someone to pick him. Dreaming of a new home, he thinks he has finally been rescued when a mysterious man approaches. But poor Fluffy's dream soon turns into a living nightmare, as his new owner has ulterior motives for the purchase.
