The Digital Trace
الأثر الرقمي
A film about what remains. When a person moves—across borders, across platforms, across the versions of themselves they inhabit at different points in life—they leave traces. This film follows those traces: not as data, but as evidence of a particular kind of human presence that is hard to name and harder to hold.

Director's Note
- What is the difference between a digital trace and a memory?
- Who inherits the digital presence of a person after they are gone?
Process
Pre-production. Writing and visual research ongoing.
A continuation of questions raised in New Present — pushing further into what digital life does to the experience of presence and absence.
