After months of war: the 20th Beirut Shorts festival drew 3,500 viewers
The 20th Beirut Shorts International Short Film Festival was held in Beirut. Despite the aftermath of the full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah that began in March, the festival drew 3,500 viewers. Awards went to films reflecting the country's recent upheavals, and the audience prize went to a film by photojournalist Christina Assi, who lost her leg in an Israeli strike.
