| dc.description.abstract | According to a rumor by my mother's grandfather, Nour el-Houda is related to my family. Via a quest to yet discover Nour El-Houda's exact kinship and childhood in my hometown, the film is a partly improvised, autobiographicized history of now-deserted cinemas in El-Mina, Lebanon, through interviews with people who worked as cinema operators and relatives of deceased ones. The film presented here is a quest to discover, via the movie theaters in my hometown and their history, the singer-actress’s kinship to my family. | |
