The Confession – a short film by Roxana Vilk on poet Yehia Jaber
Directed, Filmed and Produced by Roxana Vilk. A short film on poet Yehia Jaber.
“This film is one of three shorts I made during a week in Beirut in May 2011. The films were commissioned by Reel Festivals and Creative Scotland and the remit was make a series of short films “inspired by” the festival of poets. It was an amazing week, it’s not every day that you get to meet poets from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Scotland.
The starting point for this film was conversation about poetry and war with Yehia Jaber, a leading poet in Lebanon, and a very inspiring man, whose extraordinary life journey from a fighter to a poet leaves much food for thought.” Roxana Vilk
