The Maskoon Fantastic Film Festival concluded in Beirut with the film “Shapes” by Tunisian director Youssef Chebbi. This work, which combines imagination and reality, is Chebbi’s first feature film, and it is scheduled to screen in Lebanese theaters as of January 2023.
The film, hosted by Cinema Montaigne at Beirut’s French Cultural Center, focuses on one of the most significant symbols of Tunisia’s revolution in 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi, who set himself alight and was the spark of the revolution. The director builds events enhanced with imagination and fantasia, using the Bouazizi story and fire that burns several characters on the way to freedom and salvation.
