This experimental video essay approaches the Lebanese Civil War as an unfinished condition transmitted across generations. Rather than recounting events, the work traces how war survives in bodies, gestures, habits, silences, and everyday fears. Through the entanglement of intimate domestic traces and reactivated archival fragments, memory appears not as history but as inheritance carried through avoidance, repetition, and unspoken knowledge. The film considers remembrance as a fragile negotiation between silence and naming, asking how lives shaped by survival might begin to imagine forms of healing beyond forgetting.
Based on the text by Jana Malaeb: Echoes After the Guns Fell Silent
