Beirut, I Love You (I Love You Not), about (fleeting) love & the little pleasures in life, all set and in relation with the very inspiring city of Beirut. Written by

This short films succeeds, in the scope of ten minutes, in taking us on a journey through Beirut, Lebanon via the characters of Yasmine and Tarek, two young Lebanese lovers who fall in love (and out of love, and back in love...) Set to the music of the ultra hip Mashrou3 Leila song "Raksit Leila," the film offers us a haunting, beautiful and rare glimpse into the paradoxical reality of living in Beirut, with its traffic congestion and beautiful beaches, its seemingly Westernized people who nevertheless retain a sense of their own identity, etc. This is an amazingly visual short film by a young director who is destined to greatness. Part of this film's beauty is that it will appeal to Lebanese audiences, Arab audiences, and even Western audiences. If you are going to watch a movie about Beirut, and have less than 15 minutes to spare, then this film will provide you with a very original introduction to that city with its colorful characters and eternal charm.
