بيت البحر The Beach House 2016 / 75' / Lebanon / Fiction / Arabic with English subtitles A film by Roy Dib Writers: Raafat Majzoub and Roy Dib Producers: Aya Al Blouchi and Roy Dib Associated Producer: Donald Choubassi Line Producer: Abla Khoury – Ginger Beirut Productions With : Julian Farhat, Nesrine Khoder, Rodrigue Sleiman, Sandy Chamoun Award Special Mention - Network of Arab Alternative Screens - NAAS - JCC 2016 Synopsis 'The Beach House' is a film about four people from an Arab generation roaming over the ruins of ideologies, causes and virtues of their predecessors. It portrays their intellectual and emotional nonchalance about what is happening around them in their daily lives and relationships. In a house whose architecture is a sixties' experiment in mixing modern and Islamic architecture, a stone and concrete cube suspended over a rocky shore bashed by the waves of the Mediterranean, by famed Iraqi architect Refaat Chaderji, we spend a night with four characters whose non-stop conversations and peculiar actions reflect the void and chaos they are living in. |
