Nada El-Omari

Nada El-Omari is a filmmaker and writer of Palestinian and Egyptian origin based in Montréal, Québec. She has centered her practice and research interests on the intergenerational transmissions of memories, displacement and the stories of belonging and identity through a poetic, hybrid lens. Focusing on process and fragments in text, sound and image, Nada explores different ways to self-narrate new ways to speak hybridity and self. Her films have recently been shown at the NYU’s Orphan Films Symposium, Belfast Film Festival, Palestine Cinema Days, Visions Cairo, Toronto Palestine Film Festival and on Shasha. Her work has also been published in Montréal Sérai and qumra journal. She is currently displaying a digital project commissioned by the Art Gallery of Ontario (on view at: 1-home.net) in collaboration with Sonya Mwambu. El-Omari holds a BFA in Film Production and MFA in Film from York University.
