Eyad Hourani is a graduate of the Freedom Theatre in Jenin. He is a passionate Palestinian artist who believes in the power of theatre as a catalyst to create social and political freedom. “Omar” is the first Palestinian feature film to be almost entirely financed by Palestinians and where all major cast and crew are Palestinian. It wowed audiences at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, winning the coveted Jury Prize, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
