THE FILMMAKER
Angela Dabbak is a budding video editor and filmmaker from Beirut. She directed her first short film Spin through Bidayyat's Intensive Documentary Training workshop. She is currently developing her second short film Split which surveys the wealth gap prevalent in Lebanon.

THE RESIDENCY
Split sets place in the heart of Beirut, visually covering many sides of the city that have drastic differences in wealth distribution. It is a dialogue between the extravagantly rich and struggling poor on the streets that are very close geographically, but look nothing alike. The film is an attempt to search through the recent history of Beirut, questioning why and when this gap was created and how the country’s history leaves no room for this city to make peace with itself.
