Reem Al Mohtar

A documentary film director, film art director, and the founder of Movies on the Move (MOTM), an independent cultural initiative created from the belief that cultural activities, art, and cinema belong to everyone, beyond central cities, borders, and exclusion.Believing that art has never existed merely for art’s sake, she approaches cinema as a tool to expose realities, preserve collective memory, and amplify voices often pushed to the margins. Her work moves between documentary and experimental essay film, exploring memory, political realities, land, and resistance, with a particular focus on the women of the land, their stories, power, presence, and enduring ability to create change.
