Summary
I am an award-winning filmmaker and scholar. My main interests are in documentary and conflict, world cinema and film-philosophy. My most recent film (2023) - with a text by writer Elias Khoury - unveils the violence lying beneath a garden, a school, a cafe, a hotel, and other unremarkable landscapes, in a search for mass graves from Lebanon's Civil War. (2018) explores violence and change through the testimonies of former fighters from the same conflict. I also work on .
My research has been funded by AHRC, ESRC and British Academy
Before joining Brunel in 2013 I have taught at Goldsmiths, University of London, Dartmouth College (US) and University of Melbourne.
