Do You Love Me - CAFF 2026
About this Event
Do You Love Me
Documentary
Lebanon/France
Alongside editor and co-writer Qutaiba Barhamji (editor of Kaouther Ben Hania's Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize-winning The Voice of Hind Rajab and the Oscar-nominated Four Daughters), Daher's love letter to Beirut is composed entirely of archival footage, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography — revealing intimate moments of joy and loss that shaped Lebanon's cultural memory, despite the absence of official records.
“Director Lana Daher achieves something extraordinary. Driven by longing, she ascends into the highs and lows of the images of the past, piecing together a mosaic of memories – her own and those of others – that reveals a future which could be beautiful. Through her meticulous, years-long, almost obsessive process, she has created a poetic film in a form we have never seen before.”
—Jury Statement, Political Film Award of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung at Hamburg Film Festival 2025
