( 1958 )
Gulf Premiere
The year 1958 marks two events: first, the birth of the filmmaker in Senegal; second, the beginning, in his parents' native country of Lebanon, of a serious internal conflict that will result in a long series of civil wars. The film 1958, then, is an intertwining of a private history with national histories that mixes themes covering exile, colonization, and Lebanese politics.
