7:30pm -> 10:30pm
The 9th edition of the Student Film Festival pays homage to one of Lebanon’s greatest filmmakers, Maroun Baghdadi, best known for his vivid renderings of the Lebanese civil war. A first-ever showing of Baghdadi’s 1980 film Hamassat kicks off the 5-day festival.
Shot in 1980 in the middle of the war, this road trip across all of Lebanon delivers the destiny of a lost generation and a state of places tainted by poetry, nostalgia, memory of decayed times, fears and anticipations for the future, where Baghdadi depicts a nation in ruins struggling for survival and hope, all through the words of Nadia Tueni,.
Special Feature:10,000 L.L
