91 minutes, Color

In Person: Director Lucien Bourjeily

Executive produced by renowned Lebanese director and actress Nadine Labaki, Disorder is a powerful anthology film featuring four darkly comedic stories exploring Lebanon's modern-day struggles following the 2019 economic crisis and resulting political strife that continued after the enormous Beirut port explosion of 2020. "The Group" focuses on a meeting of would-be protesters discovering that their cantankerous planning sessions are being recorded by the government, "Motherland" finds a mother and three daughters arguing over almost everything as each tries to find a way to adapt to the current reality, "Don't Panic" portrays a suicidal life coach who encounters a former patient who wants to help his old coach, and "A Piece of Heaven" follows a depressed standup comic who wakes up after a show to discover that his bleak joke about the end of the world might actually come true—and everyone starts blaming him.—Dave Nuttycombe
