Dalia Al Kury
Possessed by Djinn (previously titled We, the Jinn)
Jordan, Germany
Producers: Carl-Ludwig Rettinger, Dalia Al Kury
Production Company: Dalia Al Kury Productions, Lichtblick Film
Project Logline:
If so many people in the Islamic world have experienced the Jinn, then what role do they play? What can these supernatural creatures reflect about our darkest, most hidden desires?
Director's Quote:
In rural Jordan, Jinn sheikhs still play the role of psychologists and doctors. In believing in the Jinn, a strict traditional society has created a loophole where out-ofthe- norm behavior can be tolerated. By listening to the people involved, I hope to push my limits of understanding the meaning of faith.
