Grandma, A Thousand Times / Stray Bullet
Teta, Alf Marra (Grandma, A Thousand Times)
Mahmoud Kaabour
Documentary | UAE, Qatar, Lebanon | 2010 | 48 min.
A poetic, playful documentary commemorating a feisty Beiruti grandmother's many worlds before they are erased by the passage of time and her eventual death. With great intimacy, the film documents Teta Fatima, the 83-year old matriarch of the Kaabour family --sharp-witted queen bee of an old Beiruti quarter -- as she struggles to cope with the silence of her once-buzzing house. Her beloved violinist husband (deceased 20 years) is both an essential absence and presence. His features manifest through the face of their filmmaker grandson while his previously unpublished violin improvisations weave through her world and that of the film.
