The third edition of Middle East: What Can Cinema Do? has reached its close, successfully  bringing together a varied audience, from activist to just curious, to see the films and be part of the daily conferences that have contributed to the growing importance of this Parisian biennial event.

The Iron Wall opened Middle East: What Can Cinema Do? Screened in tandem with our opening debate - the Israeli settlement of Palestinian land, we were honoured to receive Leila Shahid (EU Palestinian Delgate), Michel Warschawski (Israeli peace activist, journalist and  director of the AIC) and Dominique Vidal (Le Monde Diplomatique)  for this kick-off, along with director Mohammed Alatar.
