About this event

Dir. Mohanad Yaqubi

81 mins, Documentary

Winner of the Special Jury Prize, Locarno Film Festival 2026

NY Premier

Ten years ago, prolific Lebanese documentary filmmaker Jocelyne Saab emailed director Mohanad Yaqubi suggesting a collaboration. He never responded. Jocelyne passed away, and her films were finally archived. In this documentary letter, Mohanad writes back. Via her images and his words, he poses pressing questions, filmmaker to filmmaker, as he confronts the haunting repetition between her images and those emerging today from Palestine and Lebanon.

"Jocelyne Saab's film archive from 1973 to 1983 brought forward several questions about the striking resonance between her historical depictions and our contemporary realities five decades later, when no answers can ever be given." - Director Mohanad Yaqubi
