PÖFF: Tales of the Wounded Land

An intimate chronicle of the war that devastated southern Lebanon for a year and a half, this film captures the everyday lives of those caught in the storm. Through the voices of family, friends, and neighbors, it bears witness to loss, displacement, and the fragile efforts to heal, rebuild, and preserve dignity in the aftermath of destruction. ""My film was born from the need to bear witness to a war that shattered our lives and homes, and to show how, despite everything, resilience and humanity continue to flourish amid the ruins."" - Abbas Fahdel, Film Director Abbas Fahdel won the Best Director Award at the Locarno Film Festival for the film.
