Organized with BDS, CETIM and the Lebanese Film Festival, this programme reflects on the cultural and political reasons for boycotting an Allianz‑sponsored cinema day. It presents a curated shorts programme (Some Strings), whose formal experiments and intimate textures examine memory and connection; and the feature Un monde fragile & merveilleux, introduced live and followed by a videoconference with director Cyril Aris and actress Mounia Akl. Discussions include activists from BDS and aim to situate the cinematic work within broader political debates. Proceeds from the shorts session will be donated to the YAFFA association for Palestine.
In Arabic with French subtitles.
