Together with her partner Orwa Nyrabia, El Jeiroudi was also the first Syrian known to be invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2017.

The short film, entitled ‘’Morning Fears, Night Chants’’ was premiered in IDFA in 2012 with a crew list made entirely of alias names, and told the story of a young Syrian female singer-songwriter living under danger of prosecution in Damascus.

[11] Film critic James Mottram wrote “There are personal films and then there is Republic of Silence”,[12] while Nick Cunningham wrote “there is something masterly about Diana El Jeiroudi’s Republic of Silence, whether regarded as a paean to love and unity, or a chronicle of the Syrian conflict as experienced both from within and from without – as an exile living in Europe.

It is part odyssey and part cinematic stream of consciousness, but presented with both control and an abundance of tenderness.”[13] Swiss festival director and film critic Jean Perret wrote about El Jeiroudi's Republic of Silence as a film that "opens a rare path in contemporary cinematic art" and considered it "a song of political and poetic resistance with dissonant melodies.

El Jeiroudi was also one of the producers of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize Winner documentary The Return to Homs.

Instead, El Jeiroudi advocated for Syrian documentary films to be shown in festivals around the world in what was termed the "Dox Box Global Day."

The aim, according to the DOX BOX website, was to show "how poverty, oppression and isolation do not prevent humans from being spectacularly brave, stubborn and dignified.
