We are very happy to announce that "Maroun Returns to Beirut" | "وعاد مارون إلى بيروت" will premiere at La Biennale di Venezia Venice Film Festival!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Maroun Baghdadi's sudden and tragic death. Maroun, a Lebanese filmmaker who wrote and directed films during the Lebanese civil war and contributed to documentary and fiction filmmaking from 1973 up until his death in 1993. In this film, the director Feyrouz Serhal embarks on a day trip in Beirut, she navigates the city that profoundly shaped Maroun’s journey in life and cinema, and she encounters close individuals who shared his experiences. And while she traverses Maroun’s life and career the social and political backdrop moves to the foreground. The film reflects on the last 50 years of the history of the country from a present standpoint.
