The Beirut International Film Festival will commerce from 5 – 13 October 2011. The majority of films are in Arabic or French although many are subtitled in English.
With all entrants competing for prizes to be dished out on the final night, there is all to be played for though- and with Arabic cinema rarely on western screens, this is an excellent opportunity to see the world and region from a wholly different perspective.
