‘Don’t Get Too Comfortable’ is a heartfelt introspective letter to my deceased grandfather. The letter questions the continuous pattern of movement amongst Yemenis in diaspora. The film fuses archival photographs, sourced footage, parallax animation, abstract videos to create an audio visual body of work that calls attention to the collective feeling of statelessness and sense of being felt by Yemeni (or non-Yemeni) migrants.
This award winning short film premiered at Venice Film Festival in 2021 and went to screen at over 40 film festivals and was curated at museum exhibitions and galleries such as Mathaf, NYUAD Art Gallery, Jaou Tunis, Breda Photo, Venice Biennale 2024, Gulf Photo Plus, Brecia Museum etc
