Lebanon's first art-house cinema, launched in Beirut in 2007 by Hania Mrou\u00e9 and producer Georges Schoucair.<\/em><\/p>\n

Metropolis opened in 2007 as Lebanon's first art-house cinema, a project of curator Hania Mrou\u00e9 and producer Georges Schoucair, who also runs Abbout Productions, one of the country's leading independent film producers. It built its reputation on curated programs of independent and international films, and it became part of the wider infrastructure that helped Lebanese independent cinema grow, including scriptwriting workshops that paired directors with producers and experienced writers. Schoucair remains involved as vice president of the association. For film lovers in Beirut, it is the place to look for programs that commercial screens do not carry.<\/p>\n
