Now Instant presents Lana Daher’s Do You Love Me, an archival portrait of Beirut drawn from more than 100 Lebanese films. Assembled alongside editor and co-writer Qutaiba Barhamji (editor of Kaouther Ben Hania’s Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize-winning The Voice of Hind Rajab), Daher’s love letter to Beirut is composed entirely of archival footage, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography—revealing intimate moments of joy and loss that shaped Lebanon’s cultural memory, despite the absence of official records.

With an introduction from Clara Ribot.

Do You Love Me is a personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography, exploring the Lebanese collective psyche marked by joy and intimacy, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers, and artists, the film reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, celebrating creative expression as both resistance, renewal, and a means to preserve memory.

Lana Daher is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist based in Beirut, Lebanon. With a background in fine arts and graphic design (BFA, American University of Beirut) as well as filmmaking (MA, Goldsmiths, University of London), she has long been active in Beirut’s vibrant art and music scenes, working across sound, image, and archival practices. Do You Love Me is her debut feature. An IDFAcademy alumna, Lana also co-produced the film through her company, My Little Films, founded in 2024.
