JESUS

This is a cinematic retelling of the final years of Jesus: from the moment he begins to speak publicly until his final breath on the cross and eventual resurrection. Rooted in the sacred Gospels and illuminated by a wealth of historical and spiritual materials, the film immerses viewers in the profound power of Jesus’ words and deeds, set against the vivid tapestry of Jewish life, ritual, and a land gripped by fervent political strife.

Directed by Hisham Bizri and inspired in part by the Carl Theodor Dreyer, but also by G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, Søren Kierkegaard, Dorothy L. Sayers, and J.R.R. Tolkien, the film will be shot on location in the Middle East, in the landscapes and light where these events once unfolded. Spoken in English, its visual style will be both dramatic and luminous, drawing on the meditative intensity of cinema. It is a story told through silence as much as speech, through gesture as much as miracle in a world where the sacred is not distant, but incarnate in flesh, dust, and time.
