Lebanon

Lebanese cinema has been shaped by civil war from 1975 to 1990 and its memory. Directors such as Nadine Labaki bring a humane, popular voice to questions of class, religion and survival in Beirut, with Capernaum earning an Oscar nomination, while documentarians and experimental makers keep a rich independent culture going.
