Made in close collaboration with editor and co-writer Qutaiba Barhamji (editor of Kaouther Ben Hania’s Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize-winning The Voice of Hind Rajab and the Oscar-nominated Four Daughters), Daher’s playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, is composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography, exploring the Lebanese collective psyche – marked by joy and intimacy, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers and artists, the film reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, celebrating creative expression as both resistance, renewal and a way to preserve memory. “As heartbreaking as it is celebratory, and as reflective as it is brimming with resistance” —Sarah Ward, AWFJ.
