Deferred Memory
Short Film by Ayman Nahle

This work approaches writing as a feminist archive of the Lebanese Civil War, where memory survives through fragments, silences, and embodied transmission rather than official history. Drawing on women’s narratives, the film treats language as a site of resistance against erasure, revealing how war and patriarchy are inscribed in everyday life, the body, and domestic space. By foregrounding deferred, gendered memory, the work reclaims what was excluded from dominant narratives and affirms women’s writing as a vital archive of violence, survival, and continuity.

Based on the text by Mihad Haidar: Writing as a Women’s Archive of the Civil War
