Toni Geitani
Toni Geitani, born in Beirut in 1992 and now based in Amsterdam, navigates an expansive artistic landscape as a filmmaker, sound designer, music producer, singer, and composer.
After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Filmmaking, his debut and graduation film, “The Leaves Will Bury,” offered a poetic narrative that envisioned the final hours lived by its main protagonist in Lebanon before a pivotal event, adding layers of tension and atmosphere.
In 2017, the Ashkal Alwan “Video Works” grant acted as a catalyst for Toni’s film, “The Disappearance of Goya.” This compelling work blends elements of historical trauma and post-war experiences with intricate dimensions of remembrance. The film has received high praise at prestigious film festivals, such as the 29th FidMarseille and the 21st RIDM.
