For its 20th anniversary and 17th edition, the Beirut International Film Festival will screen movies, short films and documentaries about terrorism, religious extremism, refugees and marginalized groups’ rights — all the hot issues on the global agenda.
The major film festival, which runs from Oct. 4 to 12, offers to the Beirut audience local, regional and international independent movies that are unlikely to be seen on television or in local cinemas. A jury of four chooses the best ones in each category.
