About the Filmmaker

Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller is a Queer mixed-race Palestinian-Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto. Her work explores themes of fragmented identity, isolation and connection through grounded "oh no, should I laugh?" comedy. Fateema’s background in improvisation and clown greatly influences all of her work as she strives to create with integrity, depth and a sense of humour. She is particularly passionate about bringing to life nuanced and humanizing representations of Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims for the screen and prioritizes building spaces for marginalized voices to thrive both in front of and behind the camera. Fateema's short film EITR was one of 8 world-wide recipients of InsideOut's RE:Focus Fund, she is a Women in the Director's Chair and Canadian Film Centre Norman Jewison Directors' Lab alumni. She is currently in development for her first feature film, coming-of-age Palestinian dramedy, Waves/ 'Amwaj.
