Event Description : Lightcube Film Society presents "Caramel" film screening.

Labaki prepares a strong debut - a maturely crafted universe populated by various diverse identities, characters and people, who the director genuinely cares for, for she does not direct extensive attention to their emotional turbulence or their dire situations; instead managing to sustain a light-footed touch throughout with a disclaimer, 'c'est la vie'. Life, as it is, devoid of overt performance or drama meant to solicit a reaction. One can only be thankful, for the film achieves it, even while revealing the rigid structures that impose themselves on the day-to-day lives of the women in the film. Labaki herself is the lead protagonist, the part of an extra-marital affair, but like her character, all the women yearn for love or company, though the cultural environment doesn't let them vocalise their circumstance. (Suraj Prasad)

Background : Zizo and Lightcube Film Society are collaborating to institute a unique weekly film club that will provide its patrons, visitors and members with an opportunity to engage with the intricate realities and complex emotional, political and social diagrams of the Lebanese cinema. The cinema from this region is rarely, if ever, witnessed in our part of 
the world, and we are very interested in being able to showcase it; not merely to exhibit 
it as an isolated, national cinema, but also to build a context around it and place it in the larger narrative of world cinema in general. Therefore, we intend to prepare a programme with Lebanese films that alternate with their echoes and counterparts from around the world - to establish, at the same time, the distinctiveness and the sameness of the cinema from Lebanon. The first month of screenings will accordingly feature a few seminal films from Lebanon – these titles will provide the viewer with an insightful overview of the essential themes that permeate through Lebanese cinema: exile, sectarianism, inequality, westernisation, memory, a lost youth and a strong curiosity for one’s own past.
