Grateful that Lou won Best Beirut Sparks Film. It means a lot to see this story reach people the way it did. But Lou wasn’t born from something easy. It came from a place I struggled to understand from years of living with ADHD, from the chaos of a mind that never sits still. For a long time, I didn’t know how to talk about it. So instead, I built characters who could. To the Cast, Crew, famille et amis merciđŸ«‚â€ïžâ€đŸ©č. And thank you to everyone who helped bring Lou to life, for their patience and belief when things got hard. Thank you to the jury @carolinelabaki @elsazgheib and to @beirutshorts @samlahoud @doris_saba @nicolaskhabbaz for giving us the space to share our stories and the messages behind them. Pap this one’s for you, and for every father whose love was always there, even in the silence. merci pour cette chanson @ss.hh.a.n.a đŸŒŒ

Une gĂ©nĂ©ration d’artistes avance aujourd’hui Ă  contre-rythme, sans chercher l’exposition immĂ©diate ni l’accĂ©lĂ©ration artificielle. Elle privilĂ©gie la justesse, la durĂ©e, la responsabilitĂ©. Maria Kassab s’inscrit pleinement dans cette lignĂ©e rare. Son cinĂ©ma ne naĂźt pas d’un concept, mais d’une nĂ©cessitĂ© intĂ©rieure. Avec Lou, elle transforme une expĂ©rience intime, le dĂ©sordre mental, la difficultĂ© Ă  dire, les silences familiaux, en vĂ©ritable langage cinĂ©matographique. Rien n’y est expliquĂ©. Rien n’y est dĂ©montrĂ©. Tout repose sur une retenue prĂ©cise qui impose le respect. Dans son travail, rien ne relĂšve de l’exposition de soi. L’image n’est jamais un miroir narcissique. Elle devient un espace d’écoute. Le cadre accompagne les corps. Le montage relie les fragments. La lumiĂšre protĂšge ce qui est fragile au lieu de le surexposer ou de le dramatiser. La reconnaissance obtenue par Lou dans les circuits festival ne constitue pas un aboutissement. Elle marque un point de passage. Ce que Maria Kassab construit s’inscrit dans un temps long, celui d’une voix qui se forme sans se presser, sans se conformer aux injonctions de visibilitĂ© ou de rendement. Son approche traverse le cinĂ©ma, la photographie et la direction artistique avec une mĂȘme Ă©thique. Ne jamais trahir la matiĂšre humaine travaillĂ©e. Ne jamais transformer l’intime en marchandise Ă©motionnelle. Ne jamais confondre sincĂ©ritĂ© et exposition. Ce travail s’inscrit dans une zone exigeante, oĂč la crĂ©ation suppose une maĂźtrise du silence autant qu’un sens aigu de la forme. Une dĂ©marche qui refuse l’effet immĂ©diat, pour privilĂ©gier la cohĂ©rence, la densitĂ© et la continuitĂ©. Un cinĂ©ma qui s’élabore patiemment, Ă  distance du bruit, et dont la valeur se mesure dans la durĂ©e, par sa capacitĂ© Ă  tenir. PO4OR.FR @mkassab_

Well hey, so yesterday was my birthday
 but 2 years ago, everything could’ve ended. and i think i’m finally comfortable talking about it. the same dreams i’m chasing today
 are the ones that almost cost me my life. and because of that, i’ll be sharing a short video soon. looking back, this year was full of growth and lessons: First, you’re the only person who has to live with the consequences of your decisions. Second, your life was never meant to be linear
 and it never will be. i realized that love
it’s everywhere. in people, in places, in moments
 in the smallest things that make you feel something.
