The Way Back Home, 2min., Lebanon
Directed by Angy Akly
The Way Back Home is a two-minute poetic film that unfolds underwater, where a woman’s expressive movements accompany a powerful monologue on identity, womanhood, and self-ownership — written, directed, and narrated by the filmmaker herself. As the performer drifts through silence and resistance, the voice rises against the weight of judgment and expectation — reclaiming scars, softness, and the right to become. A cinematic meditation on finding one’s way back to the self.

No way out. These strings we have, both the visible and invisible.
Tie us to places, people and faith.
Hold us so tight even when we are literally running away.’
