In February 2020 Dagher completed shooting his first feature film, The Sea Ahead (Al Bahr Amamakoum), with post-production finishing a year afterwards in March 2021 Owing to the devastating economic crisis in Beirut, Covid and the Beirut port explosion which halted the post production for two months.[citation needed] The film had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival part of the 53rd Directors' Fortnight.[citation needed]
