Sirine Fattouh

"In A Night in Beirut the artist follows a man in a white robe, ‘El Tabbal’, for the first time after years of hearing him but never seeing his face during her childhood spent in Beirut before moving to Paris. Fattouh explains the trigger for this video was to put a face on a voice that was once a terrifying and mystic sound that broke sharply during the nights of the holy month of Ramadan, creating numerous fantasy stories in the minds of young children."
