Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dilmun was the ancient Sumerian paradise, often identified with Bahrain — the film treats this as inherited mythology rather than fixed history.
Hossain shot this as a student experiment, originally intending it as travel footage before recognizing the performance of memory in what he'd captured.
