La guerre civile libanaise au cinéma et les circulations transculturelles

Abstract

The trajectories of Lebanese film directors and their work,
characterized by a strong international dimension, and by their insertion within
the art film networks, bear the mark of interactions between local and global
visual and memorial norms linked to these trajectories, in a globalized cultural
environment. These films, though enriched by this international dimension, may
appear to develop their narrative following the demands of international festival
audiences, risking that these demands become constraints, and at the risk of
possible loss of contact with local audiences.
