Waves '98

2015 · 15 min · Animation, Experimental · Directed by Ely Dagher

Disillusioned with life on the segregated outskirts, a teenager glimpses something golden glowing in the city centre and goes to find it. Dagher layers hand-drawn animation over photographic plates of Beirut to build a place that is half memory and half rumour.
