JOANA HADJITHOMAS AND KHALIL JOREIGE / THE LEBANESE ROCKET SOCIETY

Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige collaborate as filmmakers and artists, producing cinematic and visual artworks that intertwine.  

For the last 15 years, they've focused on the images, representations and history of their home country, Lebanon, and questioned the fabrication of imaginaries in the region and beyond.

Together, they have directed documentaries such as Khiam 2000-2007 (2008) and El Film el Mafkoud (2003) and feature films such as Al Bayt el Zaher (1999) and A Perfect Day (2005).

Their last feature film, Je Veux Voir, starring Catherine Deneuve and Rabih Mroue, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. The French Critics Guild chose it as the Best Film Singulier.

Their films have  been released worldwide and collected many international awards along the way.

They divide their time between Beirut and Paris.
