Do You Love Me

2026 · 75 min

A wistful, collage-like drift through old footage that feels like leafing through a beloved city's memories, by turns joyful and aching.

Directed by: Lana Daher
Genres: Documentary

Tagline: A journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory.
Overview: A playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, 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 both resistance, renewal and a way to preserve memory.
