Majid Al-Remaihi is a filmmaker and artist from Doha, Qatar. Prior to enrolling at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains, Al-Remaihi received the close mentorship of Cambodian director Rithy Panh, under whom he directed his short And Then They Burn the Sea, which premiered in Locarno 2021. Al-Remaihi’s practice in cinema teeters between documentary methods and reconstructions of the intangible. He explores the realm of the unseen and invisible as points where history, power, and social conditions are condensed. He is also a Film Programmer and has programmed for the Doha Film Institute since 2019. Most recently, he was assistant curator of the exhibition “Your Ghosts Are Mine: Expanded cinema, amplified voices” concurrent to the Venice Biennale 2024.
