SYNOPSIS: Lebanese artist Ghassan Halwani’s debut feature is an evocative, procedural investigation of the thousands of people who were disappeared in Beirut throughout the Lebanese Civil War. Nimbly deploying a range of media—including performance art, photoshopped photography, and hand-drawn animation—Halwani crossbreeds narrative and nonfiction devices to arrive at something deeply personal yet morally pertinent.
