don’t get too comfortable (2021)

Directed by Shaima Al Tamimi

Production: Shaima Al Tamimi & Mayar Hamdan (Qatar)

Short Documentary (9 mins)

‘Don’t Get Too Comfortable’ is a heartfelt introspective letter to the director’s grandfather. The letter questions the continuous pattern of movement amongst Yemenis in diaspora. The film fuses archival photographs, sourced footage, parallax animation, abstract videos to create an audio visual body of work that calls attention to the collective feeling of statelessness and sense of being felt by Yemeni (or non-Yemeni) migrants.
