Overview

Not All Things that Shine Are Beautiful is a short experimental video by Lebanese filmmaker Nour Ouayda, filmed as a slow walk toward the Beirut seaside. Rather than capturing the city panoramically, Ouayda's camera lingers on its texture, light, and color — fragmentary, intimate observations of the mundane. The work unfolds as a series of close-focus impressions, as if the city's totality is too vast, too layered, or too painful to be held in a single frame. A quietly poetic piece, it raises questions about perception, proximity, and how we see — and fail to fully see — the places we inhabit.
