An opportunity is available for a skilled film editor to join the post-production phase of a new Palestinian short film. This project is an intimate, story-driven narrative that demands a sensitive and cinematic editorial approach. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and performance, with an appreciation for subtlety and silence over overtly stylized editing. The film, approximately 10–15 minutes in length, has all footage shot and ready for assembly. Creative references and clear direction will be provided to ensure the final cut is festival-ready. This collaboration is intended for editors who value artistic integrity and are committed to delivering a polished, emotionally resonant film.
