🎬 MovieFinder's Take

'Ilm' (Science) is a quiet yet potent portrait of pedagogy as an act of quiet resistance. The director foregoes grand statements, allowing the drama to unfold in the sparse glances and tense silences of school corridors.

What lingers after the final frame is a profoundly human story about how a single, modest act of integrity can become the most vital lesson of all. The film imparts a sense of fragile, hard-won hope. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Firas Khoury

The muted tones of a classroom, dusty light from high windows, silence heavy with concentration.
