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.
