A woman hangs a rug on her balcony riddled by bullets from clashes between pro and anti-Syrian government groups, in Tripoli, Lebanon, February 16, 2022. Often known in recent years for sectarian and other violence, Tripoli seems an unlikely place for a cultural revival, but it has a long cinematic tradition, once boasting 35 movie houses and Lebanon's first cinema. Kassem Istanbouli, a 35-year-old actor and director is now seeking to restore some of that past glory by turning the city’s long abandoned Empire Cinema into a national theater.
