Samer Najari and Dominique Chila have been working together for nearly two decades. In 2001, they were selected for a residency at Le Fresnoy, Studio national des arts contemporains in France, during which they created several multidisciplinary works. In 2013, the couple co-directed the feature film ARWAD, selected, among others, for the prestigious Hivos Tiger Awards of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (2014). Chila and Najari are currently in postproduction for a short film, RITUELS UNDER SCARLET SKIES, and will be shooting A BITTER TASTE OF ETERNITY, their second feature, next summer.
