A small team of friends/filmmakers embark on an eight-day journey across the sprawling web that is Lebanon today, moving from one scene to another in a sort of “exquisite corpse” fashion. Their mission: trying to depict their country in a specific moment in time. What emerges is the silhouette of a country struggling with insecurity and violence yet celebrating love and particularly motherly love. About the Filmmaker:<img src="https://filmfreeway-production-storage-01-connector.filmfreeway.com/press_kits/headshots/002/625/583/original/ec78b8941f-headshot.jpg?1707165476" width="144">﻿Salim Mrad was born in Beirut in 1987. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in audiovisual studies (2009) and his master’s degree in filmmaking (2012) from IESAV (Beirut). In 2017, he completed a second master’s degree in film research around the theme of “The Screen of Sacrifice”. He also participated in the Documentary Exchange Workshop with the Danish Film School. His filmography includes short documentaries, medium-length fictions, a feature documentary and a film trilogy around the nude body. After teaching cinema for ten years in Beirut, he is now fully committed to his film and literature projects.
