Production Notes
"About the Footage and the
Movie"
The footage for this film was captured by celebrated Palestinian Film
Maker and Artist, Mai Masri. During the war of 2006 in Lebanon she
captured this footage and much more all under the bombings and
airstrikes. After completing her award winning documentary 33 Days about
the war in Lebanon, she was kind enough to allow me access to the
outtakes from that summer of 2006 in Beirut.
Given the emotional journey and bravery of these children I found it
appropriate to combine documentary with experimental film to present the
war from the eyes of these lovely children: through their acting,
drawing and free discussion they reveal the traumatizing reality of the
war and the beautiful innocence of the child. Thus creating this very
moving experimental existential documentary.
