In the Shadow of Beirut
Awards

In the Shadow of Beirut is a searing, cinematic portrait of modern-day Lebanon as seen through the eyes of four families living in the impoverished Sabra and Shatila neighbourhoods of the city, scene of an infamous massacre in 1982. The film will be Executive Produced by Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton and Siobhan Sinnerton for HiddenLight.

Filmed over four years with unique access to the families within these largely no-go areas and co-directed by Stephen Gerard Kelly (debut film) and Garry Keane (Gaza, 2019), In the Shadow of Beirut is marked by a deep intimacy with its subjects and a bold cinematic style, with much of its visual and character-led storytelling sharing creative DNA with the team’s earlier film, Gaza.  Co-Director Stephen Gerard Kelly built up his relationship with the families at the centre of the film over a six-year period.

Lead producer is Belfast-based Cyprus Avenue Films. Production partners include Beirut’s Abbout Productions, Republic of Ireland based Real Films and Berlin-based Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion.  Co-producers include Myriam Sassine, Christian Beetz and Alison Toomey.
