Director Muayad Alayan's film, Love, Theft and Other Entanglements, will be screened at the 6th Arab Film Festival Amman (July 17 - 25) on the 20th of July. The festival is organized by The Royal Film Commission-Jordan (RFC) under the patronage of the Minister of Culture H.E. Dr. Adel Al Twaisi.

Shot in black and white, Love, Theft and Other Entanglements revolves around a Palestinian car thief who gets into the trouble of his life when he steals the wrong car.

Muayad Alayan is a Palestinian film director, producer and cinematographer based in Jerusalem. After completing his studies in San Francisco, Alayan returned to Palestine with the goal of making organic cinema by and about Palestinians as a community; a cinema made through the participation of people coming together to tell stories, against all odds and with means that creatively defy limitations. At the age of 22, Alayan tested his vision with his first narrative short, Lesh Sabreen?, which was made with the participation of youth and young adults in his home village focusing on their experiences and concerns as youth living in Jerusalem under occupation. The film was premiered in competition at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France in 2009 and went on to compete at several other prestigious festivals such as Palm Springs Shortfest and Dubai Film Festival, in addition to over 60 other festivals in 25 countries worldwide.
