Jocelyne Saab Tribute

The symposium being organized by Beirut Cinema Days, entitled “Jocelyne Saab and the Lebanese Memory”, will focus on Saab’s work that tackled Lebanese reality, starting from the outbreak of the civil war in 1975.

These works, along with the films of the new generation of Lebanese cinema from the 1970’s (Borhane Alaouié, Maroun Baghdadi, Jean Chamoun, Randa Chahal,...), constitute a contemporary history book that transcends the issue of local disagreement on a unified version of our history.

A special tribute to a pioneering director.

Participating in the dialogue:
Dr. Fawwaz Traboulsi
Michele Tyan
Malak Mroueh

The dialogue will be moderated by director Hadi Zakkak.
