DANCING ON THE EDGE OF A VOLCANO

DANCING ON THE EDGE OF A VOLCANO

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE After an explosion in the port of Beirut destroys a large part of Lebanon’s capital, a crew of filmmakers decides to continue to shoot their film in a life-affirming effort of resistance. Working against all odds, amidst the collapse of the city and the collapse of the economy during Covid, this chosen family of collaborators finds meaning and purpose in their work through the transformative power of cinema. A heartwarming and lucid documentary. – Ruth Somalo
