Today, long-time friend Maher Abi Samra dropped by for coffee and to chat about his ongoing projects and web site, arabfilm.net.
Maher makes documentaries about burning questions in the Arab world.
His most recent work, Round about Chatila, won the Ulysses prize at the 27th international festival of Mediterranean film.
I am responsible for the opening sequence which retraces the history of the Chatila Palestinian refugee camp through a series of chalk illustrations on black screen. These drawings were done in a single coffee-fuelled evening as animation in After Effects using a Wacom graphics tablet.
