Mae Abdel Sater BIO, Im a Beirut based Visual artist and Documentary maker.
I have a bachelor in Theatrical Cinematographic and Audiovisual Studies, from Saint Joseph University of Beirut.
I manifest “Beirut” and its hidden testimonies as the main inspiration to my canvas.
“Milk Tea” is my first official documentary, where i take you on a nostalgic journey down Beirut’s memory lane though a political artistic lens.
This documentary pays tribute to Beirut’s reminiscence. By taking a trip down
my family’s memory, guided by my father, who has always been the eyes I
see this city with. My story narrates the tales of three generations;
immigration to Brazil, the bitterness of the civil war and nowadays. These are
the stories that embroidered my memory of Beirut.
Milk Tea has won “Best Lebanese Short Film” award, In Lebanon’s International Short films festival, December 2016.
It has been screened 3 times in Beirut, twice in Denmark and it had one very special screening in Cairo last January.
I’m preparing a new documentary in Egypt, i’m still in the research phase. Egypt is such an inspiring place for filmmakers, its so rich and diverse, and this is why i keep on coming back there whenever i need inspiration.
