Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation.

By shehab ⋅ September 1, 2008 ⋅ View Comments

I received an email from the Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation on August 28 2008 (The Foundation is a really exciting initiative launched by the ruler of Dubai that runs a Fellowship Program offering scholarships for Arab MBA / MPP / MPA students).

Film in Lebanon.

By shehab ⋅ August 27, 2008 ⋅ View Comments

Reviews of three Lebanese films: Caramel, West Beyrouth and A Perfect Day.
Not unexpectedly (Beirut has been a vital cultural force in the Middle East for a long time), the films suggest that Lebanon has much to offer the Middle Eastern film oeuvre.
All the filmmakers share an evident and pronounced love for their city (and Beirut, so very lovable, is particularly photogenic, cinematic and receptive in this regard).
