Dina Naser is a Jordanian/Palestinian director and producer. In 2013, Dina received the Docnomads scholarship for a Master’s Degree in Documentary Filmmaking. She began shooting her debut feature documentary “Tiny Souls” in 2012, and over the course of five years Dina filmed the lives of children as they unfolded inside Zaatari Refugee Camp-Jordan. “Tiny Souls” premiered in 2019 in CPH Dox, and was well-received internationally, such as Sheffield Doc Fest, IDFA, DOK Leipzig and Busan. The film was awarded the Human Rights Film Award at Dokufest and the Sunbird Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Palestine Film Festival, amongst other awards.

In 2017, Dina founded a multi- media production company, Madd Moshawash, with the vision of blurring the line between documentary and fiction through creating artistic and experimental work. In 2019, Dina co-founded “Rawiyat”: a new collective of female filmmakers from the Middle East, North Africa and the diaspora joining forces to imagine a new landscape in the region and beyond.
