In the presence of Mathijs Poppe (director) and Jamal Hindawi (actor) DON'T TAKE MY JOY AWAY Lebanon | 2024 | 7 min | Experimental Set in Shatila, a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, two friends revel in the small joys of life until violence suddenly disrupts their world. Forced to flee, they embark on a dangerous journey of survival, confronting fear, chaos, and the stark realities around them. Along the way, they must choose between remaining in the shadows or seeking the light. Director: Omar Gabriel Production: Omar Gabriel OURS IS A COUNTRY OF WORDS Belgium | 2017 | 42 min | Documentary In the Shatila refugee camp, established in Lebanon after the forced displacement of thousands of Palestinians during the Nakba in 1948, families in an imagined future prepare for their long-awaited return to Palestine. What begins as a hopeful preparation gradually becomes a poignant reflection on the gap between their cherished dream and the harsh realities of daily life. This hybrid documentary intertwines dreams and memories with the everyday, exploring the meaning of exile and the power of imagination to sustain hope.

Together with his friends, he makes political theatre about their profound connection to their homeland, Palestine, and their situation as refugees in their country of residence, Lebanon. When Jamal embarks on a journey to search for an important lost theatre prop, he witnesses how the successive political and economic crises have disrupted an entire region and its people.
