Sara Obeidat

A master of visual storytelling, Sara Obeidat was born in 1993 in Amman, Jordan, and started her career in filmmaking in the early 2010s. Her work primarily focuses on documentaries and short films, with a notable piece being "Love, Dad" which won the Special Jury Prize at the Dubai International Film Festival. A distinct feature of Obeidat's directorial style is her ability to weave complex narratives through compelling, authentic, and poignant visuals that often focus on Middle Eastern cultures and societies.
