Watch director's interview

July Trip is a documentary essay shot in Lebanon during the last war in July 2006. It plunges us in a universe in war: the images shot in 16mm sublimate a tension, frightening because of the lack of sound. An incipit in silence, almost a reference made to all the noises caused by the bombs, by the explosions, which will follow to this unconventional beginning. More than to give us his version of the war in Lebanon, the camera-eye walk through a desolated landscape, suggesting to us keys of reading throughout very personal images.
