Rediscover Georges Nasser the first Lebanese Filmmaker in Cannes

Abbout Productions and Nadi Lekol Nas have the pleasure to present the work and story of Lebanese pioneer filmmaker Georges Nasser in a limited double feature program.

ILA AYN ? (1957 – 80min),
Nasser’s feature debut, was the first film to represent Lebanon in the official competition at Cannes Film Festival.
(Re)discover it in a newly restored 4k version.

A CERTAIN NASSER (2017 – 65min), a feature documentary directed by Antoine Waked and Badih Massaad, retraces the compelling journey of Georges Nasser, the pioneer filmmaker, while also highlighting the birth of Lebanese author cinema and its struggles to exist even until today.

Georges Nasser is 90 years old today. His eyes still light up at the mention of his greatest love, Cinema.
