Do You Love Me looks back at more than seventy years of Beirut through the images and sounds that have captured the city over time. Moving across film, photography, and audio recordings that have entered the collective memory of Beirut and Lebanon, the film pieces together a fragmented history of the city, its people, and its many worlds. Built from extensive research into more than 20,000 archival items, it offers a vivid encounter with Beirut through the traces it has left behind.
The film will be screened in Arabic with English subtitles.
Film duration: 76 min
This event is part of the "To Beirut" programme
To Beirut is a programme of two documentary films offering different ways of seeing and remembering the city. The first turns to Beirut’s relationship with the sea through the lives and stories of those drawn to its shoreline. The second looks back at the city through its visual archive, bringing together images from across its history to form a layered portrait of a city shaped by change and contradiction.
