Maria Saakyan's The Lighthouse (2006) is exclusively showing on MUBI in the Rediscovered series.

This video essay explores how Maria Saakyan’s The Lighthouse (Mayak), a film more about the effect of war on people than about war itself, paints the push and pull between the comfort of memories and the reality of present danger as a never ending, circling voyage.
