Overview

Black Doesn't Suit You, directed by Issa Al-Subhi, is an Omani short film developed from elements of real stories and experiences gathered from Omani society and reshaped into a single cinematic narrative.

The film approaches its characters through an intimate social and psychological lens, allowing relationships, everyday situations and unspoken emotional tension to drive the drama.

Ahmed Almusawi composed the original score to support that internal world without overwhelming it, using music to reinforce emotional subtext and dramatic tension while leaving space for the film's images and performances.

The film won the Sultan Qaboos Award for Culture, Arts and Literature in the Arts Branch — Short Film category — in the Award's seventh edition in 2018.
