Moondove
Moondove shows the impact of drought and change in a Lebanese mountain village through a village play. Using local actors and a docudrama style, the film weaves fiction and reality into an authentic and poetic portrait of loss and resilience.
In a remote mountain village in Lebanon, the harvest is being brought in, but an unusual drought is causing water shortages. The village is preparing for their annual play, this year titled "Departures," which explores the themes of loss and change. The film is given authenticity and depth by the use of non-professional actors from the village itself.
The cinematography captures the serene yet ominous atmosphere of the village, with the drought serving as a metaphor for scarcity and loss. Moondove balances on the border between feature film and documentary, a style known as docudrama. The film interweaves fictional elements with real stories and characters, immersing the viewer in the reality of the villagers.
