Kaouther Ben Hania Impossible Cinema 2026

Description

This portrait series, photographed by Tawfick with styling by Sam Knoll and makeup by Aya Tariq for GQ Middle East under the project Kaouther Ben Hania Impossible Cinema, is presented as a multi-frame contact sheet. The subject is shown wearing a dark short-sleeved button-down shirt paired with a light skirt, holding a small square film slide frame up to her eye across varying poses and framing compositions. The clean studio backdrop highlights the analogue film format borders and sprocket holes running along the edges of the contact sheet layout. The lighting is bright and even, capturing crisp details in her dark curly hair and focused expression.
