Recently nominated for two BAFTA( r) accolades for Best British Film and Best Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, LIMBO is a wry and distressing see of the refugee experience, set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar, a young Syrian musician who is responsibility by his grandfather’s oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.

Reflecting the complexity of the movement of people across borderlines has been a long-held passion for director and novelist Ben Sharrock, who expend day working for an NGO in refugee camps in southern Algeria and living in Damascus in 2009 shortly before the eruption of the Syrian civil war. There, he formed a structure of friends whose personal fibs engendered the film.

Written and directed by Sharrock, Limbo stellars Amir El-Masry( The Night Manager ), along with Vikash Bhai, Ola Orebiyi, Kwabena Ansah, Sidse Babett Knudsen and Kais Nashif( Tel Aviv on Fire ). Producers are Irune Gurtubai and Angus Lamont.
