Thank you to the Return to Babylon film team — a film by Marie Dault, Sémiramis Ide, and Sébastien Daycard-Heid, directed by Sébastien Daycard-Heid, and a documentary project by Agnès Ide Banipal — to the Assyrian Student Association for their partnership, and to everyone who attended and supported this screening.

Return to Babylon reflected on the resilience of Assyrian heritage and explored the questions of return, belonging, and preserving culture across generations. This night reminded us how meaningful it is to gather and celebrate stories together.
