Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Taskovski Films Sales has picked up documentary “To Close Your Eyes and See Fire,” directed by Nicola von Leffern and Jakob Carl Sauer.
The film will have its world premiere at the Zurich Film Festival. The film follows the after-effects of the explosion in Beirut, which left the city in ruins.
Collective trauma rises to the surface. How can life succeed after such a tragedy? The film carefully observes the following three years and zooms in on the lives of Aya – a Syrian refugee girl, Selim – an activist and painter, the Aladdin family – mourning a tragic loss, Yasmin – picking up calls at a suicide prevention hotline, and Andrea – who still believes in the city‘s spark for change.
Meanwhile, a smoldering fire keeps on lingering in the port’s silos like a cautionary tale. Is it time to leave? The film is directed and produced by Jakob Carl Sauer and Nicola von Leffern.
