ADNAN BEING AND TIME

The American filmmaker Marie Valentine Regan captures a vibrant portrait of 96-year-old Lebanese poet and painter Etel Adnan in her final creative moments before she disappeared in 2021. Tenderness and humor mix with her reflections on love, desire, time, and death, set in intimate scenes of daily life - a light-filled flat, a small birthday party, the mountains that haunt her imagination. An ode to joy, self-affirmation, and art as resistance.
