Shot in the desert of Dubai, Shaheen examines the relationship between bird and human and how humans have used technology to try to recreate wild hunting. Shaheen follows the morning routine of the falcons of the Royal Shaheen group. The falconers Peter and Sarab attempt to use planes and drones to develop further the art of falconry, whilst also struggling to outmaneuver and entertain the falcons in artificial aerial combat. It’s as much falconer and falcon as it is falconer versus falcon. Let the aerial battle commence!
