I’m Andrew Dawaf, a Lebanese writer and director inspired by the people and places around me.

My films; from Barefoot From Beirut (BA Degree; with High Distinction, 8 Official Selections and 3 wins), to I Am a Painting (First Place Global Winner amongst 100 Countries in the Yes We Cannes Contest 2023) explore identity, emotion, and everyday life in Lebanon.

I’m currently releasing my independent short Mazmoor 151, a step toward building a stronger voice in Arab cinema.
