Students at the University of St Andrews have transformed the windswept beaches of Fife into an exotic Arabian desert in an homage to Arabic film.

The project, which involved students from countries including Belgium, Austria, Egypt, Sweden, America, Lebanon, Morocco, Tanzania, India and the UK, took around eight weeks in total to film and was partially funded by the University's Middle East society.

The film, 'Groom Number Five' was written by Arabic tutor Dina Al'Afranji, who first came up with the idea of a student film four years ago when she arrived in St Andrews.
