In this episode, Wael Hattar sits with Nisrine Wehbe the Metropolis Programmer and Nour Ouayda the Cinematheque coordinator to talk about how the two organisations promote Lebanese and Arab cinema heritage and documenting the Lebanese movie production.

Both Nisrine and Nour discuss with Wael what each organisation does and its role in the film community in Lebanon, from creating a film database for Cinematheque Beirut, to programming film retrospectives, and organising film screenings and education for young viewers and also within the film industry. They also discuss budgeting and censorship challenges and their efforts in audience building.
