Jad Andari

An intimate exploration of life in Bzebdine, a small rural village in Mount Lebanon.

Tadur is a pastoral escapade. It depicts an imaginary world deep in Mount Lebanon, where criminals, impoverished farmers, and monastic sages are immersed in both beauty and brutality. The Arabic word "tadur" encapsulates the essence of this world, meaning to spin, orbit, turn, revolve, rotate, cycle, or circle.

Shot on a cell phone, Middle State is Andari's trip through China during the Spring Festival season. The voice overs and music are entirely composed of Whatsapp messages from his friends and family.
