For our first episode, Producer and Palestinian Films Platform programer May Odeh will join Hady Zaccak to discuss the cinematic relationship between Palestine and Lebanon, marking the conclusion of the PFP's April program, "Palestine in Lebanon."
Hady Zaccak is a Lebanese award-winning filmmaker and a professor at IESAV film School-Saint-Joseph University, Beirut. He is the author of more than 20 socio-political documentaries about Lebanon and the Arab world. In 1997, he wrote a book in French about the history of Lebanese cinema: “Le Cinéma Libanais, itinéraire d’un cinéma vers l’inconnu (1929-1996)”. Zaccak seeks through his documentaries to film the traces of the past in the present in order to preserve memory.
