Vogue Beirut

In Lebanon, a country where the LGBTQ community still faces extreme discrimination, a scene is emerging that celebrates the identity, flamboyance and passion of its queer community. It’s voguing, a dance style created in New York City in the 80s to create a safe space for LGBTQ people. We meet dancer Hoedy Saad in Beirut to discover how, in the face of adversity, he's building a vogue scene in the Middle East to fight for freedom. Graded with FilmConvert. 2 Credits Nougie Film DP/editor Michael McCormack

“Mala” Migrant Domestic Workers in Lebanon

Lebanon is home to over 250,000 migrant domestic workers (MDWs), who come from African and Asian countries and work in private households. The vast majority of these workers are women. Migrant domestic workers in Lebanon are trapped in a web woven by the kafala system, an inherently abusive migration sponsorship system, which increases their risk of suffering labour exploitation, forced labour and trafficking and leaves them with little prospect of obtaining redress. All migrant domestic workers are excluded from the Lebanese Labour Law and are governed instead by the kafala system, which ties the legal residency of the worker to the contractual relationship with the employer. This video is part of a campaign that demands that Lebanon extend labour protections to migrant domestic workers.

Back to the Beginning Bokja FW22/23

Our work is rooted in memory; capturing moments from the past to reflect on the present. Through our latest Wearables collection, we remember our long and repeated journeys through the Silk Road, searching for and witnessing an ages-old savoir faire through textiles. These textiles and the extraordinary women that produced them were our first school, a space to reflect on heritage and craftsmanship. We collected and archived what we found and imagined all the possibilities of what it could become, harvesting new and contemporary items to wrap the body with poetically assembled impressions of the past.

The first performance in decades in Beirut's abandoned Grand Theater

Le Grand Théâtre des Mille et Une Nuits is a historical landmark in the center of Beirut. Built in the late 1920s, it played host to international performances, films and was an icon of contemporary Middle Eastern culture. After the 1975 civil war, the building suffered structural damage and was eventually boardd up and forgotten. There was no attempt to revive the theater until the people’s revolution of 2019, which led to its barriers finally being pulled down... Musician: Anthony Sahyoun Soprano: Monà Hallab Cinematographer/editor: Nader Bahsoun Set designer: Whard Sleiman Installation Designer: Aya Atoui

Salim Azzam | FW 21/22 | A Good Bye To The Old World

In this collection "An Ode to the Old World", we wanted to give a sincere tribute to the history that depicted the notion of embroidery. We started eagerly digging into that world. Mesmerizing handmade pieces got out of the aged closets and pieces of magazine clippings gathered from forgotten drawers; both reflecting an honourable era when this work was a beautiful way for women to express themselves. An ode to the old world is dreaming of the future by genuinely and passionately looking into the past, and the belief that everything we need, we already have. DOP Assistants: Moaz Habli & Hussein Fneish Hair and Makeup: Ivan Kuz (Velvet Management) ( @lvan_kuz )
