Nada El-Omari is a filmmaker and writer of Palestinian and Egyptian origin, based in Montreal. Through a hybrid practice combining film, installation, writing, and sound design, she explores themes of memory, migration, displacement, and diasporic identity. By focusing on process and fragments in text, sound, and image, Nada explores new ways to self-narrate, and speak hybridity and self. Her work, often constructed from intimate fragments: family archives, recorded voices, everyday objects, questions notions of belonging and intergenerational transmission. Nada El-Omari favours a poetic and non-linear narration that brings out the traces and silences of stories that are often invisible or erased. Her films have been presented at festivals, on Shasha and Tenk, and in galleries. Her work has also been published in Montreal Serai, qumra journal, Public journal, Pavillons and Tantôt magazine. Nada El-Omari holds a BFA in Film Production and an MFA in Film from York University.
