‘Disorder,’ Anthology Film Depicting Turbulent Life in Lebanon, Acquired for World Sales by Front Row Ahead of El Gouna Fest Premiere
Distributor Front Row has taken world rights on anthology film 'Disorder' ahead of its El Gouna Film Festival premiere.
The timely portmanteau film comprises four shorts helmed by prominent Lebanese writers and directors: Lucien Bourjeili (“Heaven Without People”), Bane Fakih (“Keep It Together”), Wissam Charaf (“Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous”) and Areej Mahmoud (“Beirut 6:07”). Curated and lead-produced by prominent advertising exec Bechara Mouzannar – who is a former creative chief of ad agency Leo Burnett in the Middle East and Africa and now runs a production company called Unbranded – “Disorder” “blends drama and dark comedy” to capture the complex emotions and experiences of the Lebanese people during their ongoing upheaval, according to a statement. “Capernaum” director Nadine Labaki, who serves as an executive producer on “Disorder,” said it is “a much-needed film that truthfully depicts the psychological impact of Lebanon’s collapse on a young generation that continues to figure out how to overcome many layers of injustice.”
