A love letter to Beirut, this playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory spans 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 way to preserve memory. Do You Love Me had its New York Premiere at New Directors/New Films 2026, and its world premiere at Venice Days.
