Embodied Chorus is a Lebanese experimental documentary film set on a Beirut rooftop, where Danielle and Moe open an intimate cinematic dialogue about living with sexually transmitted infections. Danielle captures herself in sober, melancholic photographs to process her reality, while Moe plays with bodily memory and sensation to explore the experience of a queer body "invaded" by a virus. Together with five performers, they give voice to real testimonies from individuals navigating similar experiences, weaving the personal into the collective. The film ventures into rarely explored territory — intimacy, stigma, shame, and bodily autonomy — through collaborative and deeply personal storytelling.
