This is my BA Graduation Project at the academy of art. was suppose to be shot on 16m but we ended up doing a Betacam short video clip. a strong song from the Legendary Fairuz and Rahbani Bros.
I wish I can share with you the wonderful week we spent filming this clip. watching this after more than 10 years brings great great memories.

Lyrics:
Long time ago, when I was a young girl, a boy used to come from the nearby woods / His name was Shadi / Shadi and I used to play in the snow, we sang for each other and ran in the wind / We carved our names in the rocks and the wind bit our faces./One of these days, the world was smothered with fire / some people began fighting against other people / and the fighting spread to our hills / Shadi ran to watch / I got scared, I yelled: Shadi where did you go, Shadi / He disappeared, he could not hear me, the valley took him in / since that day I never saw him again / Shadi was lost for ever / Snow fell and melted away for twenty times / I grew up and Shadi remained the boy I knew, playing in the snow.
