About us
Anwar Film is an independent production entity that includes the films of siblings Raed and Rania Rafei. An homage to our father, Anwar (means “luminous” in Arabic), whose enlightened spirit was a source of inspiration and sometimes antagonism. The world of Anwar Film contains passionate documentaries, docu-dramas, fiction, and experimental films that we have made together and separately. These award-winning films have screened at international festivals and venues around the world like FID Marseille, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Doc Lisboa, Visions du Réel, and the Pacific Film Archives in Berkeley.
