Do You Love Me is part of Lebanon Cinema Days. It will be preceded by a short intro by Maria Abdul Karim from the Beirut Film Society and followed by short All This Death.

Do You Love Me is a 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 means to preserve memory.

The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was selected at the Hamburg Film Festival, SXSW, Doclisboa and Cinemed.
