Screaming Goddess
A self-portrait drawing in ink and charcoal erupts three times into a silent scream of frustration. The title is an ironic reference to the concept of a domestic goddess.
In Search of Times Past
A reverie, a dreamscape, a poetic portrait of a Lebanese woman's eventful life. 65 year-old Sultana recounts memories of her youth in a war-torn country. An experimental documentary that invites us to drift into the cognitive landscape of its beguiling subject, and to reflect on our own life stories.
Missed Call
How do you reconnect with a father who's been gone for so long? Exploring the many ways in which our lives are lived and archived via the phones we hold so close. BAFTA Best Short Form Film award winner in 2019.

When I Become Who I Am
A personal story about growing up as a black woman in Denmark lacking identification models. A story about loneliness and searching for belonging.
