    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Writer-director Roderick MacKay came across Ahmed Malek, a highly regarded actor from Egypt, when searching the internet for Middle Eastern actors. He stumbled upon an Egyptian serial drama in which Malek starred. MacKay said: "Even though I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying, I was totally glued to his performance and felt immediately that I'd found our Hanif. Luckily Malek adored the script and the character of Hanif really resonated with him, even mirroring dimensions in his own life. Malek's commitment to authenticity and plumbing the intellectual and emotional depths of Hanif was truly staggering. Malek is a household name in his homeland of Egypt, and I think this will be the case across the western world very soon."

    Totally immersive and engaging
    Drawing you in from the first few scenes, The Furnace has you thinking on many levels. This wonderful movie educates as much as it entertains. Meticulous research grounds The Furnace in the reality of the time, providing a strength and depth to the characters and storyline which, along with the stunning panoramas of the timeless West Australian outback, makes watching it such a pleasure.
