Award-Winning Lebanese Docufilm “Do You Love Me” Is Now Screening Daily in Beirut
One of the most talked about Lebanese docufilms will now be screening daily in Beirut!
Lana Daher’s debut feature film Do You Love Me, which premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, is now showing at Metropolis Cinema in Mar Mikhael three times a day, at 4 PM, 8:30 PM, and 10 PM.
Built entirely from archival footage, the 75-minute film traces 70 years of Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, blending cinema, television, home videos, photography, and music into a fragmented but intimate portrait of the country.
The film pieces together fragments from commercial Lebanese cinema and television, alongside personal archives from Daher’s family and friends. The result is less of a linear documentary and more of a layered memory map of Lebanon.
Through these materials, Do You Love Me revisits moments that feel both distant and familiar. It highlights how images and sounds shape collective memory, especially in a country where a unified national archive does not exist.
Daher describes the film as a “playful and personal journey” through Lebanon’s audiovisual history. Rather than presenting history as something fixed, the film treats it as something constantly reconstructed through fragments.
Alongside the feature film, Daher also launched a dedicated website that functions as a curated archive of the materials used in the film. It serves as an open index of Lebanese audiovisual history, connecting both local and international audiences to the source material.
You can browse the archives here.
