Tomorrow Everything Will Be Alright

Description

An intense conversation between two people one evening leads to a pictorial love story about loss and longing. An homage to Eric Rohmer and the attention he paid to the tiny details of everyday life. An eternal story of love and separation.

"Tomorrow Everything will be Alright was made as a response to a call by ICO and LUX in London to film artists to make short works that would screen prior to feature films in commercial movie theaters across the U.K. Prior to that, none of my films had screened in commercial movie theaters. It was an occasion to make a work for cinema, about cinema. What else than a love story!"

– Akram Zaatari, Interview with Berlin Film Festival, 2010

About Akram Zaatari

Akram Zaatari is an artist who lives and works in Beirut. He has been exploring Lebanon's postwar condition through collecting testimonies and various documents, notably on the mediation of territorial conflicts and wars through television, and the logic of Resistance in the context of the current geographical division of the Middle East.

Co-founder of the Arab Image Foundation (Beirut), he based his recent work on collecting, studying, and archiving a particular collection on the Middle East, notably studying the work of Lebanese photographer Hashem el Madani (1928-) as a register of social relationships and of photographic practices.

In addition to his work as an artist, Zaatari is also the curator of the Radical Closure box set, which includes his work In This House.
