THE LOST LAKE, 12min., Canada
Directeed by Fatma Fahmy, Danielle Khan Da Silva, Sofia Mendoza
"The Lost Lake" recounts the stories of four fishermen whose lives are entwined with the destiny of Egypt’s ancient Lake Qarun. Derbala Khairallah, descended from generations of fishermen, stands at the heart of this narrative. Reminiscing about the days when the lake was abundant with life, he shares his community’s deep connection to the lake and its history. Navigating through the fishermen’s recollections, the film delves into the lake's deterioration due to pollution and neglect, highlighting the alarming decline of fish populations that the community once relied upon. Amidst despair, a glimmer of hope persists. "The Lost Lake" is an ode to the enduring spirit of those fighting to preserve their cherished way of life.
