Join the 13th edition of the Beirut International Film Festival as it hosts a screening of “The Selfish Giant,” directed by Clio Barnard.

Synopsis:
The film is a contemporary fable about 13-year-old Arbor and his best friend Swifty. Excluded from school and outsiders in their own neighborhood, the two boys meet Kitten, a local scrap dealer, and begin collecting scrap metal for him using a horse and cart.

However, when Arbor begins to emulate Kitten by becoming greedy and exploitative, tensions soon start to build, leading to a tragic event which transforms them all.
