Director Statement

My films explore the lived reality of Palestine through intimate, visually driven storytelling. I focus on moments where light, silence, and emotion reveal truths that words cannot. As a director, I feel a responsibility to preserve memory, challenge erasure, and portray my people with honesty and dignity. Through each project, I aim to craft cinema that is authentic, human, and rooted in place.
