Amal Zen — Director & Designer
Biography

Visualizing the space between documentary truth and cinematic fiction.

I am an Indian filmmaker, cinematographer, and multimedia designer. A graduate in Film and Video Communication from the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad (2019–2024), I am based between Doha, Qatar and India.

My practice spans cinema, motion design, spatial installations, and visual storytelling—exploring the quiet tension between documentary observation and stylized fiction, light and shadow, and cultural belonging.

Currently, I work as a Multimedia Designer and Art Director at FP7 McCann × Ooredoo Qatar, leading creative across high-impact brand campaigns, spatial showcases (including Web Summit 2025: Ooredoo × Google Cloud), and public sporting events (New Balance × Ooredoo Doha Marathon).

Available for independent film commissions, creative direction, and collaborative residencies.

"Fascinated by the interplay of light and shadow, my practice focuses on crafting thought-provoking narratives that balance documentary truth with stylized cinematic fiction—revealing the quiet emotional resonance within complex human and spatial environments."
