New documentary on public spaces in Lebanon
From the new skatepark Horsh Beirut, to to the practice of "reclaiming the sound of the sea" and social theatre, we explore Beirut through the use of public spaces. In Lebanon, the social connections are undeniable and crucial. However, meeting places tend to remain private such as houses, restaurants, malls, and beach resorts. This is mainly due to the shortage of public spaces in Lebanon resulting from lack of planning, regulations and awareness around the right to the city and the importance of public spaces. Yet communal and public space exist, creating bridges, breaking boundaries and sometimes letting conflicts emerge to create a "new world".
