About the Film
Aichiyeh, Silence at Dawn is a six-minute poetic documentary set in the southern Lebanese village of Aichiyeh, a place where memory, faith, and nature intertwine. Through the voice of actor Joseph Bou Nassar, the film listens to the landscape and what time leaves behind.
Filmed entirely in Aichiyeh, Southern Lebanon, the work is carried by light on stone, wind in the pines, and the patience of olive trees.

“This film is a farewell carried by landscape, no speeches, no actors, just the land itself speaking.
I came back to listen for the rooster one last time before an unknowable tomorrow.”
