I am a Lebanese Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto, Canada and Beirut, Lebanon.
My films have screened internationally at major film festivals in Toronto, Montreal, Beirut, Rotterdam, San Fransisco, Cairo, the UK and many more. Alia (2015) won several prestigious awards at major film festivals including Montreal's Festival du Nouveau Cinéma and the Toronto International Film Festival's Canada's Top Ten Film, and has screened at over 20 film festivals worldwide. My films deal with chapters of Middle Eastern history through the lens of colourful surrealism and poetry. A new documentary titled Of Sand and Gold will be released in the fall of 2019. More information on each film can be found on its dedicated page.
