Abjad Hawaz (أبجد هوز)

Abjad Hawaz (أبجد هوز)

Short film created by Lebanese-born, Paris-based filmmaker and visual artist Hadi Moussally as a part of #BraveFutures Barcelona with the film prompt: "Cultivating a Protopia — Imagining and creating a future where technology serves the collective good, not just the privileged few."

Abjad Ḥawaz (أبجد هوز) takes its name from the ancient ordering of the Arabic alphabet. Through the body of Salma Zahore, each letter is danced and embodied in the ruins of Barcelona. Blending fashion, music, poetry, and performance, the film reclaims a language often feared and misunderstood, turning it into a celebration of identity, resilience, and artistic freedom.
