Al-Maria’s Little Birds, directed by Stacie Passon and starring Yumna Marwan and Juno Temple, takes place in Tangiers in 1955. Largely set in Paris, Nin’s Little Birds, first published in 1979, features ethically neutral depictions of pedophilia, incest and rape.
Her short film Beast Type Song (2019) is both an extension of an unmade post-colonial SF project about “solar war” and a hang-out film with a slow, deliberate anger.Īl-Maria created and wrote the majority of Little Birds, a six-episode limited series for Sky (available on Starz in the US) based on Anaïs Nin’s volume of erotic short stories. Al-Maria’s exhibition “Virgin With A Memory” (2014) was a response to Beretta, a self-authored script meant to be her directorial debut. Since then, Al-Maria has directed gallery films and worked on numerous unrealized film and TV projects. Sophia Al-Maria is an artist and (screen)writer, probably most well-known for co-coining the term “Gulf Futurism” and authoring the memoir The Girl Who Fell To Earth (2012).
