Front Row Acquires Nadine Labaki EP’d Anthology Film ‘Disorder’ Exploring Recent Lebanese History
Film EP'd by Nadine Labaki, explores Lebanon’s recent tumultuous years through the eyes of four directors.
The picture, which is due to premiere at Egypt’s El Gouna Film Festival later this month, brings together Lebanese writers and directors Lucien Bourjeily ( Heaven Without People), Bane Fakih ( Keep It Together), Wissam Charaf( Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous), and Areej Mahmoud ( Beirut 6:07). The launch comes as the global spotlight is on Lebanon due to the flare-up in the conflict between Israel and Shiite Muslim political party and militant group Hezbollah, which has resulted in close to 2,000 deaths, and also displaced more than 350,000 people over the last two weeks. The situation reached a tragic crescendo with the Beirut Port explosion in August 2020 — the largest non-nuclear blast to date—that devastated large parts of the city, further exposing governmental failings and amplifying public despair.
