The Penguin

A film written by Fajr Yacoub, adapted from a story of the same title by Colette Khoury. An experimental film about the loss of a person in the midst of an unfulfilled absence, a person who can be present or absent at any moment. The coincidence that brings the girl and her mother's lookalike together on the street is nothing more than a pretext for the narrative and the simulation of these emotions.

The movie was filmed in the village of Jabdeen/Damascus countryside, starring Samer Salameh, Tasneem Farid and Dunya Taj.

Within a documentary framework, the film monitors the cinematic careers of three of the most influential directors of Lebanese cinema, as Christian Ghazi, George Nasr, and Nabiha Lutfi with a focus on the impact that each of them left on the history of Lebanese cinema.

"Iraqis in Multi-classes Exile" is documentary exploring the fragmented lives of Iraqi intellectuals exiled in Damascus, Syria, many of whom fled Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s under political and social duress. At its core, the film examines the psychological and existential burden of exile, especially through the lens of names and identity. Several of the film’s protagonists have lived under pseudonyms for decades, adopting fictional names to survive politically, socially, or artistically in a country that is not their own.
