But that is exactly what the protagonists of 28-year-old Palestinian director Wisam al-Jafari’s short film, Ambience, are trying to do. Desperate to record a demo for a music competition that could lead to their first album, aspiring musicians Khaled and Ahmad (played by Salah Abu Nima and Mohammad al-Khmour) test various locations, none capable of blocking out the noise and chaos that that surrounds them.
