To Close Your Eyes and See Fire

After the explosion in the port that devastated large parts of the city, Beirut wakes up to a new day, where everyone carries their share of a collective trauma. In this stunning mosaic, we follow several individuals in the years that follow. Aya lives with her family in a parking garage and dreams of a better future. Selim seeks hope in his art. Yasmin takes on night shifts at a suicide prevention hotline, and Andrea refuses to let go of her belief in change. A powerful portrayal of a city in crisis and the people who keep it alive.

Director’s visit on March 8th and 9th!
