Biographie
Ameer Jabarah is an Iraqi-Belgian actor, filmmaker, and visual artist whose work moves across cinema, theatre, documentary, video art, and installation. His artistic journey began in Iraq, where he studied theatre at the Institute of Fine Arts in Baghdad, before continuing his training in Belgium in video art and visual cinematography at the École de photographie et de techniques visuelles Agnès Varda in Brussels.

His documentary and visual work reflects a sustained interest in memory, exile, identity, friendship, and the emotional traces of displacement. His short documentary Anmar explores friendship and exile through a quiet, restrained visual language. The film was selected for the Millenium International Documentary Film Festival and Festival de cinéma En ville, shortlisted for the “Jeune Cinéma Belge” competition, and nominated for the 2025 Magritte Awards in the category of Best Documentary Short Film.
