Born and raised in Beirut, Nay’s stories center around her upbringing, and are inspired by her experience as a Lebanese woman growing up in a largely hybrid society.
Having built a diverse body of work (short and long form, music videos, narrative and documentary…), Nay aspires to create projects that stem from deep inspiration and reflection on her environment. Although not political at first glance, her films always tend to nuance and reflect on socio-political topics and structures. Nay’s work has received international recognition from organizations and festivals such as the Raindance Film Festival, the Sundance Institute, the Doha Film Institute, The Future Of Film is Female, and many others.
