Khaled’s most recent work, The Helmet, is a science-fiction short set in war-torn Sana’a and is currently in post-production. His earlier short Not Acting Anymore, which traces the lives of two young boys living through the conflict in Sana’a, was screened at the Arab Film Festival 2017 in Los Angeles, USA. Since the war broke out in 2015, Khaled has documented the voices of its victims through short documentary films and campaign videos. These include Weddings into Funerals and Waiting for Justice for the Yemen-based NGO Mwatana, and Yemens’s Forgotten Children for Save the Children. Ruya spoke to Khaled about his work as part of its Regional Conversations series covering art and conflict in the Middle East.
