After the unfortunate and indefinite
closing of the Empire Cinema in SOFIL at the beginning of the year, Metropolis Cinema Association is now making a comeback with a set of outdoor screenings for movie lovers.
The cultural landmark has announced new “partnerships with various cultural institutions, spaces and initiatives in Lebanon” to bring you a series of outdoors screenings taking place across the country.
The first event will be kicking off this weekend with a unique open-air screening of Hadi Ghandour’s
The Traveller in the courtyard of
Hammana Artist House, taking place on Sunday, July 26 at 8:30 PM in accordance with proper safety measures.
Back in January 2020, the Empire Cinema closed down its doors after 13 years of screening some of the most unique indie films as a result of the crippling economic crisis. What started as a non-profit organization in 2006, quickly grew to be one of Beirut’s most beloved spots for foreign film fanatics and movie lovers.
We’re glad to hear that this lovely independent cinematic experience is up and running again!
