The Diary Of A Sky – Fundraising Event

Fundraising screening followed by a conversation with Cynthia Kreichati, anthropologist (in French)

100% of the proceeds will go to MTL 2 Lebanon

THE DIARY OF A SKY unfolds an atmospheric symphony of violence over Beirut, revealing the haunting fusion of incessant Israeli military flights and the hum of generators during blackouts. This 45-minute video essay plunges viewers into a chilling chronicle of daily life transformed by the weaponization of the air, where the terror of repeated incursions becomes a disconcertingly banal backdrop.

• Quebec premiere
• Selected at Visions du Réel (Burning Lights Competition) and at TIFF (Wavelengths)
