Majd Eid

Majd Eid has quickly become one of the most important Jordanian actors working today, breaking barriers with his wins at both the Cairo and Doha Film Festivals in 2025. His performance as Ossama in Once Upon a Time in Gaza has placed him at the center of international recognition when the film premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section. His career choices show a clear dedication to authentic, character-driven storytelling. From Gaza Mon Amour at Venice to Farha at Toronto, The Alleys at Locarno, and even the Miramax feature Inheritance, Eid has consistently chosen projects that resonate deeply with Arab identity and the broader Middle Eastern experience. Looking ahead, his upcoming roles in Boomah (fresh from its Shanghai premiere) and Atonement (just unveiled at Cannes 2026) suggest he’s expanding his reach into both regional and international cinema. This balance between local authenticity and global visibility is what makes him such a compelling figure in contemporary film
