Overview

Houbout / Landing is a lyrical short film by director Chantal Partamian, composed in striking black-and-white footage shot during a journey in transit. The film is a visual poem about two lovers separated by distance — mapping the emotional geography of longing and patience in equal measure. Fragmented scenes from a long-distance queer relationship unspool gently, evoking the particular experience of existing between nations and identities. Partamian crafts an intimate meditation on belonging, borders, and what it costs to be present in a world that does not always make room for those who live across its boundaries.
