Episode 3 - Editing w/ Shahnaz Dulaimy

A conversation with Iraqi feature-length film editor Shahnaz Dulaimy about the many layers of editing. We discuss storytelling, sound, pacing, gender, and more.

Speaker bio: Shahnaz Dulaimy is a feature film editor who started her career in the Arab film industry working on Annemarie Jacir’s When I Saw You (2012), Naji Abu Nowar’s Oscar nominated Theeb (2014), and Shahad Ameen's Oscar selected Scales (2019). She studied filmmaking in Rome, and delved into extensive research of film editing theories, and applying them in practice. Shahnaz went on to become the first Avid certified editor in the Middle East, and has been actively cutting films since.
