The film is screening as part of Lebanon Cinema Days in the UK. The 12 June Q&A with lead Mounia Akl is available to watch on our YouTube page.

Across three decades of passion, loss, and hope, Nino and Yasmina are bound by a magnetic relationship. Torn between love and survival, they must decide whether to build a family and seek happiness in Lebanon, or leave their home, amid the country’s unfolding tragedies.

A Sad And Beautiful World was Lebanon's official entry for the Oscars. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Audience Award, and was selected in festivals around the world, including the London Film Festival, Palm Springs, Cinemed, the Mostra in Brazil and many others.
