Animation director and storyteller at heart, Chadi Aoun wears many creative hats. Born in Beirut and raised under the MENA sun, he grew up influenced by the diversity of the many cultures he came across. After two years studying Fine Arts in Paris, he graduated with a Master’s in animation from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA), after which he co-founded YELO, an animation and design studio collaborative. He swirls and twirls between various creative projects and stage performances to quench his insatiable passion for dance and movement.
His latest highlights are his collaboration on the Palme d’Or winner short Wave’s 98 of director Ely Dagher, his involvement in the independent educational initiative Marsam al Hakaya, his dance performance The Love Behind My Eyes, by choreographer Ali Chahrour and his award winning animated short SAMT(silence) tackling the theme of dance and freedom.
