Director Biography - Ghada Youssef

Ghada is a Lebanese emerging filmmaker. She is mostly interested in experimental and dance films. As a dancer herself she has always been keen on finding how the camera can capture the feeling of the body in motion, and how both body-camera can enrich our human experience.
After completing her film studies she pursued a degree in Philosophy, another place of interest that drives her inspiration and ideas.
Ghada is currently completing her master’s degree in Philosophy at the University of Victoria - Canada.
