2018, video, 1 h 20 min
Elia (1934-1997), was a Lebanese storyteller. He was illiterate and he used to transmit stories orally. People of his village and the neighboring villages used to gather at his house or to invite him in theirs to listen to him for entertainment. In 2018, I gathered Elia’s daughters and filmed them while trying to remember together the small fragments they kept in their memories and to reconstruct their father’s stories.
