Arabic Documentaries

I went to Alhambra cinema in Marseille to watch two arabic documentaries organized by Les Bancs Publics. The first one was a film by the Syrian filmmaker "Hala Al Abdallah" and called "I am the one who brings flowers to her grave". It a documentary about the filmmaker herself and all the films she wanted to make but couldn't complete.

The other film is a Lebanese film made by the German filmmaker "Monika Borgmann". It's called "Massaker" and it's about Sabra and Shatila massacre. It was really very hard to watch as the filmmaker is interviewing six of the mass murderers from Sabra and Shatila. They describe all the crimes they did with a cold blooded attitude while their faces are in black and are not identifiable.
