Event Description : Lightcube Film Society presents "Where do We Go Now" film screening.
Where Do We Go Now feels a bit more manufactured than Caramel. Labaki casts an entire village, but that doesn't seem to enrich the film in any manner other than to expand it horizontally, in scale. Premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, it features Labaki in the lead role; as she tries to establish herself as being distinct from the rest of the characters. The central ideas, those of sectarian and religious issues and the resulting violence, however deserves a treatment more complex than the film presents. 
Its surface level pleasures are intact - the cinematography is rich, colour palettes are employed to establish the diversity of cultural identities present on screen, but the film seems to be in a rush to establish a conflict, and therefore, its resolution. Where Do We Go Now may indeed be a simplistic rendering of a complex situation - but it has at its heart, as in its title, an admirable inquiry. (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.
