Lebanon in the UK: Diaspora Shorts was a programme of short films by 5 (women) Lebanese filmmakers based in the UK, part of our season: New Lebanese Cinema: Reclaiming Storytelling. The season is focused on contemporary filmmaking in Lebanon which sees a new generation of directors telling authentic stories of life on the ground, eschewing as much as possible some of the constraints of European financing bodies and co-productions.
The five filmmakers discuss filmmaking in Lebanon today and what it means to be part of the diaspora. The films discussed are:
Neo Nahda, dir. by May Ziade
A Tempo the 3rd Act, dir. by Maria Abdel Karim
The Sun Sets on Beirut, dir. by Daniela Stephan
Three Centimeters, dir. by Lara Zeidan
Submarine, dir. by Mounia Akl
