7 Siblings Productions - Stop Motion Animation Studio

The Saleh family transformed their parents’ apartment in Amman into a studio to make films and tell stories. Naturally, stop-motion animation became their primary medium, as it allowed them to combine all the family's diverse talents—writing, directing, photography, fashion, engineering, and handicrafts—into a single artistic form. Their storytelling efforts reached a wide international audience and culminated in winning the first Academy Award in the Arabic region for a foreign animation.

Founded by Laura Nikolov, whose background in history, cinema, and international cultural work informs its approach, Coorigines focuses on international co-productions and amplifying rarely heard voices.
