Declaration
film director
“This project was born from our encounter with the French experimental rock band Oiseaux-Tempête, and their will to record their third album in Lebanon in collaboration with musicians from the experimental Beirut scene. Beyond the desire to understand and document the phenomenon of a musical encounter, as obvious as it is elusive, the desire to shoot this film in Beirut was a way for us to explore a creative context made of multiple layers, binding politics to the individual.”
