Zainab Al-hariri:
Zainab graduated in Film and Media Production from Leeds Metropolitan University and worked for several years as editor and post-production supervisor at award-winning Human Film (UK) on films such as PATH OF MARIAM, KINGDOM OF GARBAGE and CHILDREN OF GOD. Since then her credits include script supervisor on Matthew Michael Carnahan’s latest film MOSUL and the editor of ALI AND HIS MIRACLE SHEEP, which had its world premier and won the prestigious Best Film Award at Sheffield Doc Fest UK Competition 2021 and has since been selected by over 30 major international festivals, winning several awards and prizes.
Zainab is proud of her origins and strives to translate her passion into greater international understanding of her homeland and culture through her film work. Actively involved with the Arab community in the UK and aiming to bridge the cultural divide within the UK, Zainab has faced challenges as a visibly Muslim female in a predominantly male secular industry and is now ready for new challenges.

With over 25 years experience of working on many award-winning film and photography projects which veer towards the lyrical and are creatively based on personal experience of living in exile or on his travels often going off-the-beaten track and exploring different cultures, communities and traditions.
Maythem wrote IRAQI TALES, a body of stories for film, at the University of Oxford and then at the National Film & Television School (UK). From this DRIFTING ON THE WIND was chosen by over 20 international film festivals, winning the Director’s Award at Hearts & Minds.

ALI AND HIS MIRACLE SHEEP, his latest installment from IRAQI TALES had its world premiere and won the prestigious Best Film Award at Sheffield Doc Fest UK Competition 2021 and has since been selected by over 30 major international festivals, winning several awards and prizes.
