Screening of film & tribute to filmmaker Randa Shahal

9-6-2020

In its issue of June 6, Al Akhbar daily spotlighted “Civilisees” (Civilised People or Al Mutahaddirat) film, written and directed by late film maker, Randa Shahal. The film will be screened on Nadi Lekol Nas website: http://www.nadilekolnas.org/ from June 1-8 as a tribute to the renowned screenwriter, director and producer. The latter, Al Akhbar wrote, has contributed to the creation of a new cinematic awareness presenting works that earmarked the onset of Lebanese experience in reality cinema. Recalling, that the film, which was screened in several international festivals, was heavily censored (45 minutes cut of the original running time) by the Lebanese authorities at the time of its release in 1999 for alleged profanity, bad language and offending scenes. Shahal lambasted the censor revealing that the true reason behind the ban is that the film holds the Lebanese responsible for the civil war. (Al Akhbar, June 6, 2020)
