Déplacement au Liban dans le cadre d'un projet d'écriture

<p> <strong><u>How we met</u></strong> :</p> <p>  </p> <p> After our graduation at the National Film School of Nice (ESRA), we met by chance at a masterclass directed by a great palestinian director Elia Suleiman, a joyful chance which was meant to be.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Both interested by the thematics related to the Middle East and by the beauty of the arabic language, we quickly and strongly believed that our artistically sensibility put together could lead to a human, heart breaking feature film.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Our choice was focalized on a country, Lebanon. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Lebanon-07.jpg" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/93003/lebanon-07.jpg.gif"></p> <p>  </p> <p> For what reason ? Attached to his country Lebanon, Anthony has long time desired to speak of his country, of his roots.</p> <p> Maybe its also his way to get to know more and feel closer to his country.</p> <p>  </p> <p> As for Coralie she was always fascinated by the arabic language and also the history, politics of the countries in the Middle East and the richness of oriental art.</p> <p> Her favorite movie ? <em>Wajda</em> directed by Haifaa Al Mansour, first saudi arabian female filmmaker. Coralie’s love for the cedar country began from her trip to Lebanon and the relationships she made.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.17.07_pm" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/93012/Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.17.07_PM.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>                 Kfarzeina, village located on the northern side of Lebanon</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>Our project</u></strong> :</p> <p>  </p> <p> Our desire is to write and direct a feature film about the orphans victims of the lebanese civil war (1975-1990). After a first research, we discovered the existence of an orphanage in Lebanon who and still welcome children of all cultures and religions. In our feature film, we would like to recreate a fictional orphanage in an attempt to film the reconstruction of orphans traumatized by the war and the loss of their families. We hope our project reaches and carries a universal message above and beyond all borders.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.21.27_pm" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/93016/Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.21.27_PM.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>                                             </em><em> Syrian refugees at</em><em> Kfarzeina</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>Our Trip to Lebanon</u></strong><strong><u> :</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> At this point we have been lucky to communicate with some people who have lived or worked in this orphanage.</p> <p>  </p> <p> What we are preparing now is our trip to Lebanon, a vital step of this project faced with the reality of our project’s story.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In spite of our fictional project we hope to be inspired by these characters, their stories and anecdotes that they confined to enrich our subject and render our intention more authentic as possible.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We would like to take this opportunity to thank each person and all associations that we contacted and who have already given us hope.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We also would like to visit Kfarzeina in attempt to locate shooting areas as we wish to film some part there as well.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.23.55_pm" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/93018/Capture_d__cran_2014-05-16___4.23.55_PM.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p>    </p> <p> <strong><u>Biographies</u></strong> :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Coralie Prosper :</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Coralie Prosper is born the 26th september 1990 in Cannes.
