The film “A Sad and Beautiful World,” directed by , follows Nino and Yasmina across decades of uncertainty as they navigate love, belonging, and the weight of constant change, quietly capturing the ways love and loss exist side by side in Lebanon.

As the title suggests, this story truly is so beautiful and we couldn’t recommend it enough. It felt touching, heartbreaking at times, relatable, and reminded us how powerful our connection to each other really is. The film will be releasing in theaters this summer - we highly recommend a watch 🤍

“This project, ‘You Are What You Eat,’ is my return to identity as a Palestinian, beyond the scrutiny of the world. The closest I’ve ever felt to my homeland, beyond geography”

In “You Are What You Eat,” Rima explores identity as something lived and carried through the everyday. Tracing memory, culture, and inheritance through food, the project reflects how what we consume connects us to where we come from. Rooted in Palestinian elements like pomegranate, olives, dates, figs, oranges, and eggplant, it becomes a quiet reflection on diaspora, belonging, and identity.

Cherien Dabis’ film All That’s Left of You opens in theaters this weekend. The powerful story follows three generations of a Palestinian family, shaped by memory, love, and endurance. As a community, one of the most meaningful things we can do for each other is show up so that more films rooted in our stories can continue to be made and seen.

journey to bringing this film to life has been deeply personal, and the path wasn’t easy. The team faced many challenges along the way, making the creation of this film an act of resilience in itself. As Cherien shares: “I believe deeply in cinema’s capacity to shift perspectives, open hearts, and create lasting impact. For Palestinians, storytelling is not a luxury. It is a matter of survival. Stories determine who is seen as human and who is treated as disposable. Who receives empathy—and who is erased. When a people are repeatedly maligned, stereotyped, and dehumanized, the act of telling one’s own story becomes a form of preservation: of memory, resistance, and humanity itself.”

Watch the film in theaters nationwide starting tomorrow, January 9th. Let’s help give it the opening weekend it deserves.

Sophie Javadi-Babreh didn’t inherit a business. She inherited a lineage. Raised in an Iranian household where carpets carried memory and meaning, she grew up around stories woven by hand and passed down through generations. Today, carries her father’s legacy forward through standing between past and future, and proving that when tradition evolves, it doesn’t disappear. It deepens.
