ABOUT ABOUT

FREE MEN - France 2011, 99 minutes, Feature Drama

Start time: 6:30pm

Inspired by actual events, this gripping wartime espionage drama tells the little-known story of Muslim freedom fighters and a mosque that sheltered Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris during WWII.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW? - Lebanon 2011, 90 minutes, Feature Comedy

Start Time: 9:30pm

On the edge of a cratered road, a cortège-like procession of women solemnly makes its way towards the village cemetery. Takla, Amale, Yvonne, Afaf and Saydeh stoically brave the oppressive midday heat, clutching photographic effigies of their beloved menfolk, lost to a futile, protracted and distant war.
