Curatorial note:

Cedro libanés takes us on a journey from Buenos Aires to Beirut with a raw and precise work in which poetry and documentary research join carefully, building a tale that places us in a fragile rift, that invisible line that separates us from other ways to live in this world. A forceful, moving short film. A work that finds admirable power in its relation with other works such as Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano; an enriching, powerful exercise in this festival.
