Cilama

سيلَما

Hady Zaccak

1000 images and 40 voices reconstitute the collective memory of Tripoli (the capital of North Lebanon) and its particular relationship with “Cilama” as Cinema was called in the popular dialect.

“Cilama” appears on the silver screen with its multiple temples, rites, stories of love and wars, beginnings and endings in a suspended time.

من خلال ألف صورة وأربعين صوتاً، تتكوّن الذاكرة الجماعيّة لمدينة طرابلس (عاصمة شمال لبنان) وعلاقتها المميّزة بالسينما التي كانت تُعرف في الأوساط الشعبيّة باسم "سيلَما".

هكذا تظهر على الشاشة الفضيّة المعابد العديدة والطقوس وقصص الحب والحروب والبدايات والنهايات في زمن معلّق.
