Ima Miriam

Following the life of Miriam, a 94 year old Iraqi Jewish lady, living in modern Israel. Through the stories she tells, Miriam paints a picture of how her life unfolded, and looks back to remember those who aren’t with her anymore.

'Ima Miriam' was a documentary short film that I shot over the course of 5 days in Haifa and Jerusalem, Israel. It is a project that I hold dearly for the time it allowed me to spend with my grandmother, and imortalise some of her stories.

The short film was selected at 4 film festivals internationally, and won 'Best Documentary Short' at the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood.
