Lebanon. 2020. The traces of the heavy past of the civil war are still vivid. Corruption of government parties is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Bodies rise. Words collide. At the heart of this, musicians from different backgrounds connect their instruments and make them resonates from all sides.

Khamsin is a project born from the collaboration between the French experimental rock band Oiseaux-Tempête and musicians from the Beirut experimental scene. More than a mere documentary about a musical encounter, the film is also a reflection on the dynamics of creating within multiple different contexts, from the political to the human, as well as an encounter between collective history and a multitude of personal journeys.
