Where Do We Go Now?: Lebanese Women in Film

Oct 17—Oct 23, 2025
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2025
To honor the brand-new restoration of Jocelyne Saab’s 1985 film, The Razor’s Edge, and the recently restored works of Heiny Srour, BAM presents a selection of important films directed by Lebanese women between the 1970s and 2010s. This series gathers stories that attempt to bear witness to and make sense of the region’s conflicts, particularly the Lebanese Civil War (1975—90), which remains a major influence on both the filmmakers and people of the country to this day.
