Marouan Omara is a filmmaker from Egypt.
His films wander around the unmarked
territory between fiction and documentary,
using cinema and its tools as a genuine
mode of research. His films work as a
dreamlike notion of the surroundings and
closeness to the everyday experiences of
his society. He believes that collaboration
in making films and sharing authorship are
necessary tools for contemporary cinema.
His last feature-length film, Dreamaway
was shortlisted for the Oscar nomination -
Egyptian national selection and got selected
as the best Egyptian film of the year 2019 by
the Egyptian Critics Association.
