Lana Daher, 2025, 75 min.
In French, Arabic and English, with English subtitles
Do You Love Me, directed by Lana Daher, is a playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a bittersweet love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, newsreels, television shows, home videos, pop songs 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 resistance, renewal and a way to preserve memory.
