Letters is a powerful collective work by 18 Lebanese filmmakers, created in late 2023 during the war on Gaza, as an exchange of personal letters transformed into short films. Completed in May 2024—just before Lebanon became the next target of conflict—this deeply emotional project captures the weight of anticipation, solidarity, and looming devastation through a mosaic of cinematic voices.
