DUBAI: An AI-powered robot learning to pass as human — with guidance from a gang of misfit stray animals — is the focus of Saudi filmmaker Mohammed Hammad’s new dark-comedy series “Yallah, Yallah Beenah! The Official, Unofficial Guide Of How To Live In The Modern World.”

The show, slated for release early next year (a platform has still to be confirmed), leans into satire to examine everyday behavior, social performance and the pressure to keep up with trends, while keeping its tone playful.
Hammad tells Arab News the show evolved from a “short experimental art film” of the same name that he created for a group show — “Amakin” — organized by the Saudi Art Council in 2022.
