‘A la rencontre des Eglises Premières’ at The Beirut Spring Festival 2015

The Beirut Spring Festival, created and launched in 2009 by the Samir Kassir Foundation, is inspired by the title of one of the last articles written by Samir Kassir, shortly before his assassination in 2005.

This event, targeting the broad general public, is unique both in its concept and program. The festival features multidisciplinary international performances (theater, music, dance, conferences…) revolving around the themes of tolerance and cultural diversity, especially in societies facing violence and injustice.

This movie takes us to the discovery of churches evangelized by the Apostles themselves. Having evolved in the East in a hostile environment, the survival of these churches today is a miracle. Each is located at the border of a particular culture. Jacques Debs shared the life philosophy of these churches made of mysticism and charity. It is a movie with a stunning aesthetic magnified by Zad Moultaka’s music.

Speakers: Jacques Debs (Filmmaker, Lebanon); Samir Frangieh (Former Member of Parliament, Lebanon); Saoud Mawla (Writer, Lebanon)
Moderator: Michel Hajji Georgiou (L’Orient-Le Jour, Lebanon)
