Fetih 1453 officially banned in Lebanon

The Turkish movie “Fetih 1453” just joined the list of banned movie in Lebanon today. According to this article in Lebanon Debate, it seems like the General Security took the decision today following the protests that accused the movie of being disrespectful to Christians earlier.

To make sure, I checked Cyberia’s movie guide and didn’t find Fetih 1453 listed among the currently showing movies anymore.

Still, I believe the ban is useless since it was shown in Turkey in the beginning of 2012 and it’s currently widely available for download on the internet.

33 Days – A Lebanese movie

33 Days is a Lebanese movie taking place in the summer of 2006 when Israel launched its war on Lebanon after Hezbollah succeeded in capturing two Israeli soldiers on the borders.

This is the second movie about the 2006 war after “Under the bombs“, and portrays what people who were resisting the Israeli invasion were going through in the town of Aita El Shaab.

However, since Iranians have contributed in its production, the movie has been banned from showing in Lebanon’s most popular theaters like Empire, City Mall, and Grand Cinemas ABC and is currently being shown at Planete Abraj, Concord, Las Salinas, and Saida Mall. What a shame!
