Discover 7 fascinating facts about Mount Hermon! 🏔️ You might be familiar with some, but what other hidden gems do you know? 🤔 Share them with us in the comments below! 👇

1. Crucial Water Source 💧: The melting snow of Mount Hermon feeds the surrounding aquifers and rivers, playing a central role in the region's ecosystem. 🌿

2. Rare and Precious Flora and Fauna 🌸🐾: The mountain is home to endemic species like wild orchids, the Lebanese wildcat, and migratory birds of prey. 🦅

3. Panoramic View 🌅: From its peaks, on clear days, you can see not only Lebanon 🇱🇧 and Syria 🇸🇾, but also the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan Valley.

4. Archaeological Heritage 🏛️: Ancient inscriptions in Greek and Aramaic, along with temple ruins, show the spiritual and historical significance of Mount Hermon through the ages. 📜

5. Strategic Point : Long before recent geopolitics, Mount Hermon was a key landmark, marking borders between the Canaanites, Arameans, and others. Its strategic position along trade routes made it a crucial point for both navigation and surveillance.

6. Symbolic Name : The Arabic name for Mount Hermon, "Jabal al-Sheikh," means "Mountain of the Old Man" or "The Wise." This refers to its snowy peak, resembling the white hair of an elderly man.

7. Religious References : In the Book of Joshua (11:17), Mount Hermon marks the northern border of the Promised Land. In the Book of Enoch, fallen angels descend on the mountain.

This holiday season, as the trees adorn themselves with Christmas colors, let's take a moment to address the cultural and spiritual aspect of this time. Spending the end of the year in Lebanon is not just about enjoying a festive atmosphere. It is also a fabulous opportunity to discover numerous monasteries, havens of peace where testimonies of the country's religious history are hidden.

Do you know Our Lady or Ilije monastery ? It is a treasure of Maronite heritage, to be discovered in the department of Jbeil, in Mayfouq.

A symbol of strength, perseverance, and longevity, the cedar proudly withstands the winter's cold. Deeply rooted in its soil, it celebrates both the present moment and the promise of brighter days to come... It truly embodies Lebanon itself.

La 4e édition du Festival du Film Libanais de France se tiendra du 14 au 20 octobre à Paris, dans les salles du cinéma Le Lincoln, après une soirée d’ouverture le 13 octobre à l’Institut du Monde Arabe.

Le conflit qui aujourd’hui ravage à nouveau le Liban couvait déjà l’an passé, alors que tous les regards étaient braqués sur les affrontements et les bombardements à Gaza, redoutant leur propagation.

Les films présentés lors de cette édition 2024 seront ainsi notamment marqués par la guerre et ses conséquences. Mais ils illustrent également bien d’autres aspects du Liban, de sa société, de ses questionnements.

Au total, 40 films seront projetés, dont 25 courts-métrages en compétition, et plus d'une dizaine d'avant-premières, mêlant documentaires et fictions. De nombreux échanges et rencontres auront lieu en présence des équipes des films.

La cinéaste Danielle Arbid, marraine de cette 4e édition, en présidera le Jury 2024 aux côtés de Chloé Mazlo, Christophe Chêne-Cailleteau, Katia Saleh, et Noel Keserwany.

Vous pouvez découvrir toute la programmation et réserver vos billets sur le site web du Festival. https://fflfofficial.fr/programme-2024/

Participer au FFLF, c'est aussi soutenir la création, face à l’adversité et à la destruction. Nous sommes fiers d'être partenaires de cet événement. Nous espérons vous retrouver au Lincoln dès le 14 octobre.
