Cinexpérimentaux #11: Voyage dans le cinéma expérimental à Beyrouth - Avec Jaap Pieters au Liban

Directed by Frédérique Devaux

While filming a portrait of Dutch filmmaker Jaap Pieters, he evoked memories of a Lebanese friend who had disappeared, and his desire to trace his footsteps / to track him down. This project matched our own desire to learn about the state of Lebanese cinema today. We offered Jaap Pieters to travel together to Lebanon to seek out filmmakers doing research on the moving image. We met Mahmoud Hojeij, Nadim Tabet, Ghassan Salhab, Nesrine Khodr and Lamia Joreige.
