RAW Material Company invites you to a screening of Je veux voir by Lebanese artists and filmmakers Joana Hadithomas and Khalil Joreige on Friday November 8th, 2019 at 8pm at the Cinéma Empire, Médina.

Je veux voir (2008) by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige

July 2006. Another war breaks out in Lebanon. A war which comes to break the hopes of peace in the next generation.

We do not know what to write, what stories to tell, what images to show. We ask ourselves “what can film do?”

This question, we decided to ask it truly. We go to Beyrouth with an “icon”, an actress who represents film for us, Catherine Deneuve. She will meet our actor, Rabih Mroué.

Together, they will drive through the regions devastated by the conflict. 

Through their presence, their meetings, we hope to recover a beauty that our eyes cannot see anymore.

An unpredictable, unexpected adventure begins...
