Welcome back to the Digital Doha Podcast, our new series focused on bringing listeners informative conversations with local experts exploring the cutting-edge of emerging media happening in the dynamic international capital of Doha. Hosted by Spencer Striker, PhD Digital Media prof at Northwestern Qatar, and co-hosted by Natasha Das, Media Info & Tech student at NU-Q.
We’re thrilled to present our second guest of the season, Mariam Al-Dhubhani, one of the most dynamic, up-and-coming filmmakers in Doha, whose directorial debut “Just Another Memory” won Best Documentary at the 2018 Ajyal Film Festival. In 2020, Mariam was named Most Promising Filmmaker by @TorontoArabFilm. The NU-Q alum was recognized for her short film “In the Middle,” about the daily hardships of life as a Yemeni soldier.
Mariam Al-Dhubhani is a Yemeni-Russian award-winning journalist, filmmaker, and curator. She first pursued her passion for media during the 2011 Arab uprisings and co-founded her first media production. Al-Dhubhani’s films have been screened globally in festivals such as Carthage, Interfilm, and Oaxaca. She is a pioneer of the creative use of Virtual Reality for highlighting stories from Yemen. We hope you enjoy our conversation with one of Doha’s leading innovators in the emerging space of interactive and digital storytelling, as well as AR/VR Design.
