Dark to Dark, is a 2016 Saudi movie, directed by Omid Khalid. with a runtime of 7 minutes.
Dark to Dark is a short drama that unfolds on a young woman's wedding day — a day she spends hiding from her own family rather than celebrating. With preparations and festivities continuing in her absence, the film lays bare the erasure of individual will in the face of an unwanted arranged marriage. Quiet and pointed, it gives voice to the anguish of women compelled into unions they did not choose, capturing the particular cruelty of a ceremony that proceeds as though the bride's feelings are irrelevant. Dark to Dark stands as a concise, emotionally direct Arabic short on the theme of forced marriage and female agency.
