The project follows the wires that crisscross the skyline and buildings of Beirut and uses the responses to electricity disruption to make sense of the legacy of the conflicts that have affected Beirut.

This work builds on innovative approaches from film practice, ethnography and sociology, to show how discrepancies in access to energy can be used to articulate the lasting impact of conflicts on everyday lives and the urban environment.

The project will produce a documentary film to articulate the everyday experiences of people living with power outages in the Lebanese capital, paying close attention to how informal electricity networks redesign the urban landscape.
