Manal Issa, 2024 is a haunting and intimate portrait of acclaimed Lebanese-French actress Manal Issa, filmed in Beirut just hours before bombing escalated across the country. Through unseen interviews and reflections drawn from year-long conversations, Issa contemplates the role of the actor in times of crisis, confronting the politics of visibility, conflict, and gender with a boldness that echoes—and surpasses—the critiques once voiced by Maria Schneider.
