Qaoud's films include Women in the Stadium, which was released in 2011 and shows the struggle of the Palestinian women's football team in playing and training under the Israeli occupation.
In addition to the film "Symphony of the Diaspora", released this year, documents how a number of musicians of Palestinian origin were selected to play classical music in the West Bank and Israel.
The 90-minute documentary Smuggled Sperm tells the story of Shirin Nazzal, a Palestinian woman who becomes pregnant with a child as a result of artificial insemination after receiving sperm released from her husband in an Israeli prison. With this film, Shireen tries to live a single mother life in a conservative Palestinian society.
In 2019, she directed the film "The Guardian of Memory", which follows the stories of return that Tariq al-Bakri documents, the stories of the Palestinians' relationship with asserting their right to their land, and the return of three generations of exile to visit their homes and villages from which they were forced to leave.
