All About My Father

2010· 75 min·

For over seventy years, Elie Sfeir has worked as a barber in Beirut at some of the country‘s most exclusive and refined salons. Now a spry octogenarian, he has a lifetime of memories to share, which he does generously in "All About my Father" a fascinating portrait of a man who, over the years, has coiffed the heads of politicians, princes, and presidents. Filmed at his home by his daughter, filmmaker Zeina Sfeir, this engaging and charming character has heard it all, gossip, intrigue, political thought, and personal dilemmas – creating a unique history of Lebanon, heard directly from the lips of those who shaped it.

Director: Zeina Sfeir
