“Bilal” [2006]

“Bilal”

Outline

This film opens with a room inside a mosque while a traditional drum beat is heard. A man with a Mohawk hairstyle walks into frame. He then lip-syncs the Adhan, or the Muslim call to prayer, though the original audio actually comes from a TV. The striking contrast between the sound and the man’s appearance makes for a unique viewing experience.
