Suzannah Mirghani is a Communication and Media studies graduate and an independent filmmaker working on highlighting stories from the Gulf region, with a particular focus on Qatar. Being of multicultural background, she is interested in stories that examine the interconnectedness of multiple—and sometimes seemingly opposing—ethnicities and identities. She is especially interested in exploring the wealth of multicultural encounters that occur in a traditionally cosmopolitan place like Qatar.
Her most recent short film “Hind’s Dream” premiered at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Film Festival, received an award for “artistic vision and poetic screenwriting” at the 2014 Ajyal Film Festival, and was selected for the short film corner at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
