The Camelia Committee is Mira Adoumier, Carine Doumit and Nour Ouayda. We are filmmakers, film editors, writers, and film programmers. Working primarily with fiction, we explore the multiple relationships between image, text, voice, and sound to provoke the eruption of the strange in the mundane. We came together in March 2020 in Beirut to maintain the circulation of ideas, practices, and desires amongst our various projects. 

Who is Camelia? She is a recurring figure in the cinema of Mohamed Soueid. She made her first appearance in his 1994 experimental television series Ana fil Camelia. We are almost certain she was born in Beirut or at least has lived there. We follow her through various territories, such as her childhood, the garden, the forest, the city, and the night, territories where transmutation occurs.
