"In the sceening I was pretty chilled. I think my crew members and like my editor was like, 'I was throughout the film I'm like sweating.' I don't know if it was just people were very nervous. I was kind of calm because I really knew that some people would like it, some people won't like it, but it's - I didn't think anyone would feel 'oh' about it, you know? It's either they would hate it or they would love it but it's going to generate a discussion and that was for me the most important thing, that it generates a discussion and that people get to get to experience the story of Hayat and to be honest, when I watched it yesterday on the big screen with all these people, I felt that they were really engaged with it and they really experienced the story of Hayat.  So that was very, that was very nice to see to be honest and I felt it was very impactful, you know?

"Definitely. Shooting on water and loading, unloading actors, it took - we didn't have a jetty so you have to understand we were like in the middle of the sea and we would load and unload actors from boats. If you wanted to go to the bathroom, you had to like unload the actors, you know? Baseema had a problem with the sea seasickness. So it was a very complicated shoot in the water and not just, you know, on the boat - the water scenes at night where kids go in the water."

"We had like a stingray, you know? So we had a stingray and it was traveling around and because we had light pointed at the water from the mountains to the sea,  that's in the opening scene. So we had this small like little stingray. But we had like girls, kids in the water. So I was like, 'Oh dammit.' And it wasn't getting close to them until suddenly only the camera department was in the water and it bit the first AC and then everyone ran off and the first AC was dealing and we were like, and the whole crew was off and it was like, 'What happened?! What happened?!' Then Joao (Ribeiro) my cinematographer, God bless him, he was next to the camera and he does not care about dying. He was like, 'Come on guys! The camera.' And everyone's like freaking out. And he's like, he's just holding onto his camera. You know he's like, he doesn't care about this thing, he didn't care about anything. He just cared about the camera. So it was so funny. And then one of the Omanis who were helping us and one of our extras, he was like, 'What is all this screaming?' We're like, 'There's this fish!' So he's like, he literally went in the water, picked it up and he was like 'That?' And just like threw it away. He's like, 'That's not scary. That's nothing!'"

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Shahad Ameen, writer/director - on two films by female Saudi Arabian directors showing in Venice:
"To have two Saudi films means that, you know, we're taking a step forward in Saudi cinema where Haifaa and I are completely different directors, with completely different visions and that's very encouraging, because hopefully next year and the year after that you'll see other films coming from female or male Saudi directors that will have also a completely different vision. So, whenever I see a lot of films that are different and they're representing the Arab world in the right way I'm always very pleased and very happy. And I really hope to see more films, more visions because we need each and everyone's vision at the end of the day and each and everyone's voice is important."

"I remember like they announced it, maybe the woman driving, when I was travelling in the summer. And then I came back I didn't see at first any woman driver, but slowly when I started going out and I started seeing what's happening. It's not just that they're driving, it's that they're contributing to the society. It's that they're visible in the streets. You know, before you wouldn't see that. Before that at the coffee shops on the streets only males are only allowed to sit there. But now, you know, men and women can interact with each other. To be honest it was even when they introduced Uber, that made a very big change in our society for some reason, because when we were growing up, you know, we couldn't take normal taxis in Saudi - our parents would tell us it's dangerous, don't take the normal taxis. And when Uber was introduced you get to ride with the Saudi driver. And they're actually, for the first time, I feel they're talking to me - they're not trying to flirt in any way, they're just talking like a person to a person and I was like, 'Oh, my God! Were we always this ready to change?'"

"To be honest, all of us Jeddah - I didn't travel to places outside of Jeddah after the changes. But we were so proud of each other. We're like, oh, my God, you'd stand in like a concert hall and no-one and you'd think think, you know, because it's something that's very new that was introduced - society was very segregated before - you'd think there were problems will happen, but they weren't whatsoever. And I speak about my city in particular. I feel that maybe they were ready for that kind of change to happen and they were waiting for it to happen. They were waiting for them, for us not to be afraid of one another, for us to be able to talk to each other. And now it's changing. You don't understand, like every time I walk in the Corniche, the new Corniche, I feel like I'm part of a city. When I see girls in the street, I feel that I'm not alone. I'm part of the city when I see people talking normally. The city feels alive more than ever. And for the first time we feel like we're a community."

STORYLINE:
AWARD-WINNING SAUDI ARABIAN DIRECTOR AMAZED BY CHANGES BACK AT HOME
Film director Shahad Ameen is amazed by changes occuring in her home country.
Six weeks ago, Saudi Arabia published new laws that loosen restrictions on women by allowing all citizens - women and men alike - to apply for a passport and travel freely, ending a long-standing guardianship policy that had controlled women's freedom of movement. It follows the lifting of a ban on women driving last year, looser rules on gender segregation and concerts and movie theaters being introduced to the country.
"I remember like they announced it, maybe the woman driving, when I was travelling in the summer," said Ameen at the recent Venice International Film Festival.
"It's not just that they're driving, it's that they're contributing to the society. It's that they're visible in the streets. You know, before you wouldn't see that. Before that at the coffee shops on the streets only males are only allowed to sit there. But now, you know, men and women can interact with each other."
The young director, whose movie "Scales" was showing at the Italian event, hails from the port city of Jeddah.
"I speak about my city in particular. I feel that maybe they were ready for that kind of change to happen and they were waiting for it to happen. They were waiting for them, for us not to be afraid of one another, for us to be able to talk to each other. And now it's changing. You don't understand, like every time I walk in the Corniche, the new Corniche, I feel like I'm part of a city. When I see girls in the street I feel that I'm not alone. I'm part of the city when I see people talking normally. The city feels alive more than ever. And for the first time we feel like we're a community."
Ameen was one of two female Saudi directors at Venice alongside Haifaa Al Mansour, whose film "The Perfect Candidate" competed for the festival's top prize, the Golden Lion.
"To have two Saudi films means that, you know, we're taking a step forward in Saudi cinema where Haifaa and I are completely different directors with completely different visions and that's very encouraging because hopefully next year and the year after that you'll see other films coming from female or male Saudi directors that will have also a completely different vision," said Ameen.
"Scales" is set in an unnamed fishing town where tradition dictates that families must sacrifice their first-born girl to sea creatures, who will then be hunted by the men of the village. At the center of the tale is a young woman called Hayat (played by Baseema Hajjar) whose father cannot surrender her to the waves.
In order to portray a dystopian landscape, Ameen ventured to a seaside town in Oman. Shooting at sea wasn't easy, she admits.
"We didn't have a jetty so you have to understand we were like in the middle of the sea and we would load and unload actors from boats. If you wanted to go to the bathroom you had to like unload the actors, you know? Baseema had a problem with the sea seasickness. So it was a very complicated shoot in the water and not just, you know, on the boat - the water scenes at night where kids go in the water."
On one evening, cast and crew sprinted for the beach as a stingray was spotted nearby.
"We had like girls, kids in the water. So I was like, 'Oh dammit.' And it wasn't getting close to them until suddenly only the camera department was in the water. And it bit the first AC and then everyone ran off," laughs Ameen. "Then one of the Omanis who were helping us and one of our extras, he was like, 'What is all this screaming?' We're like, 'There's this fish!' And he's like, he literally went in the water, picked it up and he was like 'That?' And just like threw it away. He's like, 'That's not scary. That's nothing!'"
"Scales," which screened in Venice as part of the Critics' Week competition, received the Verona Film Club Award at the festival for innovation.
