Part of CAIRO CINEMA DAYS 3

Ila Ayn?, the first film to represent Lebanon in official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, is the only one of Nasser’s films of which a 35mm copy still exists at the CNC, in addition to a copy owned by the director. Thus, it has been screened very rarely. For the 60th anniversary of Ila Ayn? (Where to?), the original 35mm fine grain master positive was scanned, retouched and color corrected in a resolution of 4k. The restoration was initiated by Abbout Productions and Fondation Liban Cinema, with the support of BankMed-Lebanon, and the participation of Nadi Lekol El Nas, in collaboration with production house The Talkies. The restoration work was carried out by Neyrac Films – France. Sound restoration was carried out by DB Studios – Lebanon.
