Career

Chahal began her career with documentary films but shifted to feature films by the 1990s, though she retained 'a documentary-maker's nose for contentious subject matter'.^[2] She is reported to have said, "You discover in my films a common denominator.

You notice that the camera only moves from right to left exactly like Arabic writing."

Chahal served as a jury member at the Venice 64th International Film Festival in the Opera Prima section.
