Films of Hay Wasat
The district in minutes: one film about all of Hay Wasat, and one for each of its three qisms. Every picture shows a real place inside the district, credited on the image credits page.
How these films were made
From photographs published under free licences, and postcards and archive photographs in the public domain — of places inside the district’s three qisms only — cut on the beat of the music. The sound effects were made for these films, with the sea.
We used no footage from other sites or channels — it belongs to its owners. Video filmed by the district in its own streets is welcome, and can be cut into these films.
The three qisms
Landmark documentaries
A short documentary for each landmark: its history from documented sources, told by a synthetic narrator, with Arabic and English subtitles.
