Jocelyne Saab was a French-Lebanese filmmaker, active from 1970 to 2019. Since she passed away on January 7th, 2019, her work has been (re)discovered by the younger generation of Lebanese, Arab and international filmmakers that claim their filiation with this audacious form of political cinema. A witness of her time, Jocelyne Saab made films that wrote another history of the last 30 years of the 20th century in the Middle East.
