"We work across film co-production and the creation of cultural and socially engaged campaigns."

We also design and lead workshops and interactive artistic experiences for individuals and groups, based on methods we have been developing for more than a decade, including creative writing sessions and practical tools to support and expand creative practice.

WORKSHOPS & PRACTICAL INTERVENTIONS

Our writing workshops and artistic interventions are developed through years of practice between Lebanon and France. Open to individuals, students, and institutions, they focus on building tools for narrative, observation, and creative development.

They sometimes extend into visual and installation-based formats, taking the form of hybrid artistic interventions that combine writing, image, and collective reflection.

One example of that is the Artistic Intervention we did in collaboration with with KADIST, the contemporary art organization titled, titled From the Streets to the Screens.

STORYTELLING FOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PURPOSES

Each campaign is conceived as a hybrid space between film, media, and artistic practice, designed to reach both institutional and public audiences. We combine live action, animation and documentary approaches, visual storytelling, and creative direction to translate complex social realities into accessible and impactful forms.

One example is Lack of Love, a short mixed-media documentary directed by Noel Keserwany and created to support efforts to free child sex trafficking survivor Tiffany Simpson and to contribute to a broader movement advocating that survivors of human trafficking are not criminalised.

PROJECT OF WORKSHOP IN DEVELOPMENT

To be announced between 2026 - 2027

FROM THE REAL TO THE STORY (DU REEL AU RECIT)

The workshop series From the Real to the Story, was created from a shared conviction: storytellers and researchers need spaces of dialogue more than ever. Bringing together filmmaking and the human sciences, the project explores how fiction, ethnography, and visual storytelling can enrich one another in their ways of observing, documenting, and translating reality.

Developed by filmmaker and visual artist Michelle Keserwany and anthropologist Dr. Martín Cavero Castillo, the initiative proposes workshops, public conversations, and foldable editorial objects that make the creative process visible and accessible. Through the crossing of ethnographic and cinematic perspectives, participants are invited to rethink how stories are researched, written, and embodied, paying close attention to lived experiences, social realities, emotional tensions, and political contexts.

At the heart of the project is a foldable A1 mini-newspaper combining fictional and ethnographic texts, drawings, graphics, and visual essays. Conceived as both an artistic and pedagogical object, it offers an alternative format for sharing knowledge and creative processes with wider audiences. The workshops accompanying the publication can be presented in universities, film schools, cultural institutions, festivals, and artistic residencies, creating encounters between filmmakers, researchers, students, and local communities.

More broadly, From the Real to the Story seeks to demonstrate how collaborations between art and science can generate richer narratives, new methodologies, and more nuanced ways of engaging with reality.
