Les Épargnés:
Les textes présentés par Carine Doumit sont les images potentielles d’un essai filmique. Le présent objet est inachevé, sans doute irréalisable et à tendance littéraire. Son inachèvement révèle ses possibles.
1958:
En 1958, une femme donne naissance à son premier enfant au Sénégal, terre d’émigration, au même moment le Liban, pays originaire, plonge dans un grave conflit interne, préambule de la future guerre civile.
Posthume:
Réalisé quelques temps après l’agression Israélienne de l’été 2006, (Posthume) est un essai doublement hanté par l’absence présente de toute fiction et l’omniprésence du réel.
