Imagine Me Like a Country of Love’ is an experimental short film that explores the emotional and physical landscapes of returning to a homeland transformed by time and conflict. Through a blend of contemporary footage from Yemen, recovered archival family photographs, and animation, the film presents a fragmented, poetic reflection on memory, belonging, and grief. Inspired by my own return to Yemen after nearly a decade away, the film examines what happens when the memories we left behind are disturbed. With the help of my mother, I recovered family photographs once thought to be lost during the war—images that now serve as a visual thread through the narrative. The film moves like memory itself: disjointed, layered, and uncertain. It is a meditation on the dissonance of return and the emotional aftermath of conflict—not in its visible ruins, but in what remains quietly unsettled.
