Description

Photo-journalist and documentarian Jocelyne Saab grew up in Beirut and spent fifteen years covering the Lebanese war. The three films that would become known as THE BEIRUT TRILOGY are among the nearly 30 films she made during that time; they weave together documentary images and poetic essay to process how the war has changed the city she knew and her connections to it. Heartbreaking and quietly hopeful, Saab trains her camera on the people of Beirut as they persist with daily life amid the rubble. These films are presented with another program of Saab's work, her narrative feature THE RAZOR'S EDGE, opening on February 20.
