Reem Najjar

A cinematic split-screen narrative exploring collective versus individualistic societies through the perspective of a Lebanese girl raised between Saudi Arabia and the United States. The story begins with the assumption that technological advancement and stability define “the lucky one,” before slowly revealing that the deepest forms of wealth are actually human connection, communal life, and presence.

between worlds

shaped by landscapes, culture and technology

pre arrival

surrounded by abundance, already looking beyond it.

the tribe

in some places, childhood is raised collectively, in others, connection begins through screens.

sweet home

love expressed through presence, ritual, and proximity.

in transit

some people spend their whole lives between destinations.

grounded roots

some people belong fully to the place they have always stood.

parallel lines

two lives unknowingly moving towards the same moment.

red string

sometimes recognition arrives before understanding.

invisible crisis

some battles happen silently inside people, but become harder to recognize in beautiful placees.

in gratitude

one world struggles materially, the other emotionally, both believing the other has what they lack.

lucky one

when the lights are out, only human connection remains.
maybe the deepest form of weather was never technological at all.

who's luckier? those surviving hardship together, or the people collapsing alone?
