The Franco-Arab Film Festival (FFFA), supported by filmmaker and visual artist Chloé Mazio and its honorary patron, Costa-Gavras, takes place from 17 to 28 November at the Le Trianon cinema in Romainville and in cultural establishments in the town of Noisy-le-Sec. This year, the focus is on the vitality of Lebanese cinema, past and present. This twelfth edition features fifteen feature films - fiction and documentary - and six previews.
The FFFA's artistic director points out that documentaries and fiction films on the subject of Palestine are also on the bill, in response to current events. These include "Cueilleurs" by Jumana Manna and "Bir'em" by Camille Clavel.
Two Lebanese directors will be featured at this year's festival: Jocelyne Saab (1948-2019) and visual artist Maï Masri, whose films Les Enfants de Chatila (1998) and Beyrouth, l'œil du cyclone (2022) will be screened.
