在这部焦虑贝鲁特纪录片片中,青年导演扎卡利亚·加布尔对于自己生长的贝鲁特充满感情,希望通过记录的方式让更多人理解这座复杂的城市。通过这部纪录片,你可以近距离感受在过去的几年里经历了革命、战争、港口爆炸事故、抗议示威活动后的贝鲁特弥漫着怎样的情绪。在拍摄城市变迁的同时,屡次下定决心离开的扎卡利亚也将自己的不舍和纠结留在了影像之中。
In the ever-present desire to capture, record, and understand Beirut, and by extension himself, Zakaria has been trying to give a coherent story to his city. It is through the intersectionality between the general and the personal, the public and private, the old and young, that we are able to answer: why are we anxious in Beirut?
