Lebanon produces a very large number of short films, and we see it as necessary to spotlight emerging talents in particular. The short film is often the first space in which a young director can experiment and find his or her own voice.

We wanted to give viewers more space and enable them to participate directly in the competition, by listening to their point of view and giving voice to their own vision of the films.

This edition was built as a journey through different generations of filmmakers, and through multiple ways of narrating Lebanon. We wanted to place very different films in dialogue with one another, addressing history, society and identity, but also highly personal and intimate stories.

The war should end soon. I believe both sides want to see it end, but I find dealing with Zelensky harder than dealing with Putin.

If you tell me that Zelensky is resuming bombing the refineries, all he is doing is raising oil prices globally... I think this is shameful, there are many other targets that can be targeted.

Zelensky does not want to reach a settlement. He claims he wants to, but in reality he does not. No, I am not a fan of Zelensky.

The ministers' withdrawal is an escalatory option and matters cannot be pushed through in this way. There must be rationing and then a variable tariff that keeps pace with global oil prices to cover the cost of generators. We move step by step, after the sit-in, then the withdrawal from the cabinet session, and we will follow an escalating path. We will deal with each cabinet session according to its circumstances.

When you ask for money for the South Council, the money is secured, but there is no money when you ask for a service that benefits all Lebanese. Also, Energy Minister Joe Saddeh is asking for funds owed by state institutions, and it is not acceptable for the citizen to pay the cost of operating state institutions.

The most important thing is that there is no direct threat that cannot be postponed for two weeks, and assuming the possibility of launching a limited operation, achieving its objectives, and a rapid return to normal life, requires caution, as Israel can determine how to launch the campaign, but it alone cannot determine Iran's response, or when the fighting will end, as it may choose a wide-ranging response, wanting to change the deterrence equation towards Israel and the United States, which turns a limited action into a long-term conflict.

It is unlikely to happen soon, and certainly does not require Israel to launch a new preemptive campaign, but the concern is that there may be a miscalculation. Through conversations with sources in the military establishment, it appears that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who declared publicly that he does not intend to launch a preemptive war, and in internal discussions, is not enthusiastic about another military initiative against Iran before the elections.

The level of alert is rising in Israel, and the army is preparing for the possibility of returning to fighting soon, and the military establishment is closely monitoring developments in Iran, which is preparing for the possibility of another conflict, as it works to restore its military capabilities, strengthen its forces, and prepare for a future campaign against Israel and the United States. Nevertheless, its readiness for war does not prove that an attack is imminent.
