27,<a href="https://www.milleworld.com/arab-films-stand-out-as-doha-film-festival-concludes-its-inaugural-edition/"> the festival will kick off</a> with a story rooted in war-torn Yemen and centered on an unusual refuge: a women-only petrol station where women gather for fuel, conversation and moments of respite from the world outside.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the center of <em>The Station</em> is Layal, whose younger brother faces enlistment, forcing her to reconnect with her estranged sister in an attempt to save him.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The world of <em>The Station</em> distills what I love and cherish about Yemen into a fragile utopia, constantly overshadowed by turmoil beyond its walls,” Ishaq said. “At its core, this film is about people in all their complexity, contradictions, and humanity. It is an ode to the people of Yemen, who have endured years of war with dignity and strength.”</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DdoAcTExnLG/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

Her short documentary <em>Karama Has No Walls</em> (2012), which documented Yemen’s 2011 uprising, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film, while her follow-up documentary <em>The Mulberry House</em> premiered at IDFA. Since 2015, Ishaq has also worked on film training in Yemen, first through Comra Academy and later through Setara Films.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Written by Ishaq and Nadia Eliewat, <em>The Station</em> stars Manal Al-Mulaiki, Abeer Mohammed, Rashad Khaled, Saleh Al-Marshahi, Fariha Hassan, Randa Mohammed, Fatima Muthanna, Amal Esmail, and Shorooq Mohammed.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The film is produced by Screen Project, a Ta Films company, in co-production with Georges Films, One Two Films, KeplerFilm, BarentsFilm, Setara Films, and The Imaginarium
