Aliens In Beirut
Moviemento 31.05.2025 – 18:00
Aliens in Beirut blurs doc and fiction, exploring alienation and desire at home through scripted improv, New Wave wildlife-esque cinematography and visual experimentation. Charabaty (who also stars in the film) reimagines events from their life leading up to the fateful 2020 Beirut Port Explosion. Returning to Beirut from Toronto, desperately in search of roots, Amir falls in love with a stranger by the sea. In the end, the explosion cares for nobody – leaving behind traces of unerasable desire.
