The year 2020-2021 was one of the hardest to the Lebanese people. Artists were shaken and wounded but they didn’t stop creating. In this year’s Film and Series guide (please find it attached), you will discover the Lebanese productions, films and series in development, distribution and much more.
Unfortunately and because of the multiple crisis, Fondation Liban Cinema was not able to be present in Cannes Film Festival this year and the Lebanese cinema couldn’t be represented by the Lebanese pavilion. Nonetheless, we are honored to have a Lebanese film in the Directors’ Fortnight selection.
Congratulations to Ely Dagher for his film: The Sea Ahead. Congratulations to his producers: Myriam Sassine, Georges Schoucair, and Arnaud Dommerc.
We also discovered a new Lebanese talent, an oncologist who is not a professional actor, that got a standing ovation for his role in Emmanuelle Bercot’s film De son vivant. Congratulations to Gabriel Sara!
Till next year, stay safe hoping to be reunited again anytime soon!
