Bye Bye Tibériade

Lina Soualem, Belgium, Palestine, Qatar 2023 ⁄ 82' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

Born in 1960 near Lake Tiberias in Palestine, Hiam Abbas decides to leave her country and her family to pursue an acting career in Europe. Thirty years after this departure, her daughter Lina, now a filmmaker, takes up the camera and goes back in time to understand her mother's trajectory and that of the other women in her family. Guided by her mother, the filmmaker interweaves present-day images with family archives, exploring a history of women who are both resistant and resilient.
