Rissala min Beirut

Lettre de Beyrouth
Jocelyne Saab
1978 Lebanon 52 minutes Arabic
DR

Three years after the start of the civil war, the director returns to her town for a few months. Straddling a country at war and a country at peace, she finds it hard to readjust to life. By restarting a bus when public transport was no longer operating, she was able to bring a new sense of normality to the war-torn city. People were getting on the bus and seeing it as a safe space.
