Sometimes I Lie The Way I Breathe

After a violent conflict and years of silence, two twin sisters meet again, only to find themselves facing their old relational wounds.
What If We Were Happy?
Dir. Julie-Yara Atz
Do events unfold in cycles? Does history inevitably repeat itself? Through the director’s lens, we follow Lebanese photographer Nadim, street artist Roula, and the director’s Syrian flatmate Haifa as they navigate life in contemporary Lebanon, reflecting on what it means to be alive in a place where the past seems to echo endlessly into the present.

A young Swiss-Tunisian tries to reconnect with his parents, despite the tensions and taboos linked to his homosexuality.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with Julie-Yara Atz.
This films are in Arabic, French and English with English subtitles.
