Do You Love Me

(Lana Daher, 2025)

Columbus Premiere

Disorientation is part of the journey—welcome to Lebanon!

Do You Love Me is a personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home movies, and newsreels that explore 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 resistance, renewal, and a means to preserve memory. Also, the soundtrack is so full of bangers that you’ll leave the screening with several new favorite songs. In Arabic and French with English subtitles. (75 mins., DCP)
