RIOT: 3 Movements
Rania Stephan / Lebanon, United Arab Emirates / 2017 / East European Premiere / 17 min.
synopsis
Filmed in three slowly intensifying acts amidst a mob of angry protestors on the streets of Lebanon, and making use of a shaky handheld camera, the film captures the turbulent street protests against the local government’s passive approach to a long-standing garbage crisis in the summer of 2015, when both cities and countryside were polluted with trash.
