Lebanon. Nowadays. The traces of the heavy past of the civil war are still vivid. Corruption of government parties is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Bodies rise. Words collide. At the heart of this, musicians from different backgrounds connect their instruments and make them resonates from all sides. Beyond the filmmakers desire to understand and document the phenomenon of a musical encounter, as obvious as it is elusive, the desire to shoot the film in Beirut explores a creative context made of multiple layers, binding politics to the individual.
Gregoire Couvert is a cinematographer, editor and photographer. Most of his work in visual arts is fed by reflections related to experimental forms, connections between music and moving pictures, and political structures constituent of any social dynamics. Khamsin is his first documentary as a director.
Grégoire Orio works as a director, cinematographer, editor, set designer and photographer. Interested in poetic and experimental forms, he undertakes video and documentary work which has led him to collaborate with many different artists seeking, through different visual forms, a sensory and musical relationship to the image.
