Hello! I’m Muhannad Lamin, a senior video editor with a cinematic sensibility applied to both festival-recognized documentaries and high-engagement digital content. I shape rhythm, tone, and narrative across long-form features and fast-turnaround branded series, drawing on archival material and fresh storytelling approaches.
I’ve collaborated with VICE, M&C Saatchi, CNN, World Bank Group, and UN agencies to deliver emotionally resonant stories that perform across platforms—from feature-length films to branded content. My work has screened at IDFA, Red Sea IFF, DOK.fest München, and Clermont-Ferrand, and been distributed via Witness – Al Jazeera English.
