Majid Al-Remaihi is a filmmaker, artist and film programmer based between Doha and Paris. Working across film, installation, and the essay form, his practice moves between documentary methods and reconstructions of the intangible, exploring the unseen and invisible as points where history, power, and social conditions condense.

Al-Remaihi trained at Le Fresnoy — Studio national des arts contemporains. Before enrolling, he worked under the mentorship of Cambodian director Rithy Panh, under whom he made the short And Then They Burn the Sea (2021). An elegiac meditation on memory and loss, it was selected at the Locarno Film Festival, screened at Palm Springs ShortFest and forty festivals worldwide, and won Best Short at Vienna Shorts and the Silver Tanit at Carthage. His short Perishable Idol (2025) premiered in competition at CPH:DOX and screened at Punto de Vista and Go Short.

His installations extend these concerns into space. Natural State (2025), first shown at Le Fresnoy as a film installation, follows a 3D-rendered oryx across the archive, a figure between symbol and ghost, while A Donkey Will (2025), a gender-bent portrayal of the holy fool Nasreddin, was presented at the inaugural Bukhara Biennial.

Al-Remaihi served as assistant curator of Your Ghosts Are Mine: Expanded Cinema, Amplified Voices, a traveling exhibition and unprecedented showcase of cinema from the Global South shown during the Venice Biennale 2024, Mathaf (Qatar), and Centro Cultural La Moneda (Chile). He has been a film programmer at the Doha Film Institute since 2019.
