Considered one of the foundation stones of Lebanese cinema, and the first Lebanese film to screen at Cannes, George Nasser’s ILA AYN tells the story of a poor family in the Lebanese mountains whose father leaves to travel the world, seeking Eldorado. Many years later, a ragged old man arrives in the village. Will those who remained learn from his experiences before it is too late? The film will be introduced by traditional Middle Eastern music from Bashir Saade.
