Philippe Aractingi
Conceived on an impulse, this film was achieved in less than one year, from the moment of its conception to its completion. Its is the spontaneous manifestation of my anger, of the pain of seeing my country, Lebanon, once again devastated by war.
Struggling between the need to react immediately, before the dust of the bombings settled, and that of keeping a distance to avoid taking parts, I decided to shoot in installments.(...)
In my film I decided to avoid showing the dead, we have seen too many. Under the bombs, most have been crushed. Dead which reappear as the stones that cover them are moved. I have made this film for them. To testify the suffering of the innocent.
Born in 1964 in Beirut, where he grew up, Philippe Aractingi has made more than 40 works: reportages, documentaries and films, shot in France and in Lebanon, but also in the rest of the Arab world, in South Africa, in Sri Lanka, in Mongolia…
