JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - DECEMBER 2: (INTERVIEW) Director Mohamed Ben Attia and Producer Dora Bouchoucha talk about why the film has touched Arab men in particular, Ben Attia says it's welcomed as another genre within Arab cinema, but the second is that it's about the level of rage and anger in a man, the feeling of not being in the correct space any more within the Arab world, that they're no closer to explaining the reason for this anger, Bouchoucha says that she finds it extremely interesting that when they submitted the script to the Arab world, for the first time, they weren't asked for their motivation or the 'whys' of the story, but in Europe they were, that it meant a lot and she was pleased with the reception of the movie here, men were crying as they were touched, at 'Behind the Mountains' Interviews, at the Red Sea International Film Festival 2023 on December 2, 2023 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
