Speaker’s Biography
Ms. Muriel Aboulrouss is an award-winning cinematographer and the creator of the Intuitive Film Lab, a program designed to empower emerging audiovisual artists. Since beginning her career in 1997, she has earned international acclaim for her cinematography in commercials, feature films, and documentaries.
In 2012, Ms. Aboulrouss stepped away from commercial work, seeking a deeper, more meaningful purpose for her craft. This led to the creation of a unique film lab that encourages filmmakers to explore intuitive, free-form storytelling.
In 2014, she co-created “Zyara,” a poetic, award-winning documentary series celebrating human resilience and beauty. With over 50 international awards, “Zyara” has become a powerful tool for social healing, inspiring and empowering youth through stories of everyday heroes overcoming adversity.
In 2025, Ms. Aboulrouss joined the TorinoFilmLab team at the Red Sea Lodge program as a cinematography tutor for 12 feature films. She continues to teach across the MENA region, mentor independent filmmakers, and inspire new generations of storytellers through her belief that “talent is a gift, freedom requires courage, truth is revolutionary, and art is an act of love.”
