On the occasion of its annual film festival L'heure d'hiver, Cinema Galeries proposes a focus on a Middle Eastern city. The programme aims to reflect the urban, demographic, social and political dynamics that make up the city, but also and above all to tell the story of how these dynamics are lived: what stories they shape, what experiences and what perspectives.
