Do You Love Me (2025)

[15]

Ahead of the inaugural edition of Manufactory, Park Royal Design District presents an expanded programme of film, moving image and live public screenings in North Acton Square, exploring industry, architecture, labour and the city. Spanning artists’ moving image, classic cinema, family films and shared public events, the programme introduces audiences to some of the themes surrounding Manufactory while creating new opportunities to gather in the district throughout the summer.

As part of the programme, North Acton Square presents Lana Daher’s Do You Love Me [15] (2025), a playful and personal journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory, composed entirely from archival material.

Spanning 70 years of film, television, home videos and photography, the film forms a love letter to Beirut and a portrait of the Lebanese collective psyche, moving between joy and intimacy, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers and artists, Daher reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national audiovisual archive, exploring creative expression as a form of resistance and renewal, and as a means of preserving memory.

The wider Summer Screenings programme follows public broadcasts of the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships in North Acton Square and continues through the summer with film screenings and selected live sports, ahead of Manufactory on 11–12 September 2026.

Presented as part of the Summer Streets programme, supported by the Mayor of London, Ealing Council and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC).
