Dear Shaded Viewers,
Today I read a lovely article in L’Orient-Le Jour on the director Raya Farhat who submitted her beautiful film to ASVOFF 12 #LOCKDOWN HOME MOVIES. She explains how she moved to France due to the endless crises in Lebanon.
During her Confinement in Paris, because of Covid-19, her mum passed away from a heart attack in Beirut. She was unable to attend her funeral due to airport shutdowns.
She went back to Beirut to pay tribute to her mother by making this beautiful film “Heart Attack” . It was her way of saying the last goodbye following her father’s footsteps, living a revival of the funeral.
We are having a People’s Choice vote for the #LOCKDOWN HOME MOVIES, please go to FNL Network and scroll down to our channel A Shaded View on Fashion Film and vote for Heart Attack. You do have to download the app for FNL Network at the apple store or google play.
