Baalbek is at a rendezvous with a film festival … Culture Presents the Eternal "City of the Sun"

Whenever Lebanon fails culturally, Lebanon will return to the country that refuses to fall and will prove to us that the homeland of the gods, the cradle of right and the spiritual father of civilizations have been the godfathers of culture and culture. In the Arab world and in the world. Whenever we step back, individual initiatives of pbadion and patriotism bring us back with all our might to protect the cultural face of Lebanon from impurity.

Today, after the wave of prevention and confiscation that divided the Lebanese street, here is the third edition of the Baalbek International Film Festival, which once again underlines the close links between Lebanon in general, culture, art and free creativity, and Baalbek, the godfather of Fayrouz. Baalbek is not the endemic zone and "not the epicenter of terrorism and the arms shop," says Mai Abdel Sater, founder and director of the Baalbek International Film Festival. Stereotypes that accompany the minds of people when they think of Baalbek. "

The third edition of the festival is exceptional on several levels. This year's cultural initiative is highly individualized and takes place at the guest house due to lack of funding that has prevented the "rental of the castle". In short, to examine the public's interaction with these standards. The festival organizers called the Summer Cinema Nights from August 16 to 18, a separate theme from the traditional festival in which these award-winning films are presented in the presence of curators, directors, producers and actors. The presentations will also be followed by a round table with the participants to ensure a successful cultural interaction.

"For the third year, the festival has proven to be a breath of fresh air for Baalbeck," said Abdel Sater.We have been working on the presentation of a collection of documentaries and Arab and local films in order to put these independent, non-commercial works that carry cultural and social messages as important as international films. It also highlights the cultural and development goal of the festival free entrance sponsored by the Club for All Peoples, the Baalbaki guest house, Peace of Art, Safe Side and the Institute French. And the members of the festival committee.
