Thanks to Ben, I just found From Beirut to…those who love us. While I am trying not to drip ineffectual tears on my keyboard, I can’t recommend highly enough that you go watch it (BIG Quicktime file). Here’s the background:

This video letter was made on July 21, 2006 at the studios of Beirut DC, a film and cinema collective which runs the yearly Ayam Beirut Al Cinema’iya Film Festival. This video letter was produced in collaboration with Samidoun, a grassroots gathering of various organizations and individuals who were involved in relief and media efforts from the first day of the Israeli attack on Lebanon. It was also broadcasted at the Biennial of Arab Cinema, organized by the Arab World Institute in Paris.
