Fiasco

w/
Nicholas Khoury Q&A
11:00
OAK
For half of his life Nicolas, the director, confided in the camera, creating a trail of poignant, funny video diary entries.

Nicolas opens up his home to us in Beirut through his camera, and takes us through his past and present. With candid humour, he embarks on a cinematic rebellion against his family and societal expectations of the “perfect life”. He wrestles with the idea of marriage and what that means not only to him, but his mother who fears Nicolas’s life will pan out to be a ‘fiasco’ with his attitude to tying the knot. 

Hilarious and moving, this intimate film explores identity and love as Nicolas invites us to spend time with his family, who are going through their own journeys in life. His sister - who is leaving home - and his mother, who is navigating life after his father’s death. 

A delight in its self-expression and spontaneity  - Fiasco is full of life as it embraces the big questions, with the lightest touch.
