The screening of “We Are Inside” by Lebanese filmmaker Farah Kassem in Brussels offers a special cultural moment—an intimate and deeply personal cinematic experience that resonates far beyond the boundaries of autobiography. Through this documentary, Kassem explores questions of family, memory, belonging, and generational dialogue with remarkable sensitivity and honesty.

In We Are Inside, Kassem turns the camera toward her own home and her relationship with her poet father. The film unfolds as a delicate yet powerful exchange between father and daughter, blending the personal and the political, the private and the collective. The camera becomes more than a recording device; it is a tool for conversation, confrontation, tenderness, and reflection.

Rather than following a conventional narrative, the film weaves together everyday moments that reveal the complexity of intergenerational relationships within a society shaped by political and social tensions. With a quiet and contemplative approach, Kassem creates space for viewers to reflect on what “inside” truly means—inside the home, inside memory, inside the self.
