17/01/2024
We are heading to !
Berlinale - Panorama just announced its full selection. And we are super excited to announce the selection of Myriam Hage’s second feature documentary Diaries From Lebanon متل قصص الحب.
A big shout out to our wonderful team especially our coproducer GoGoGo Films and all the supporters without whom this film couldn’t have been made.
Panorama screens extraordinary cinema, is a traditional audience favourite and - with its own audience award - has the festival’s biggest jury. Panorama is explicitly feminist, explicitly political – and at the same time seeks to think beyond these categories - always looking for what is new, daring, unconventional and wild in today’s cinema.
Keep an eye on us. We will be sharing more very soon.
