RULES For filmmakers :

Take care of the equipments we lend you!!!
If you abuse or neglect it, you will lose access to it.
Check the equipment before you take it and tell us immediately if there is a problem, if they are returned damaged you will be held responsible.
Films must be between 30 seconds and 7 minutes long including credits.
Remember: this is not news reporting; but a creative perception of the impact the war has left/is leaving on us.
A screening will be held, along with an exhibition around mid September. A selection of short movies will also be sent for screening abroad, with the agreement of the author.

RULES For artistic pieces :

Pictures, photos, drawings, caricatures, sculptures, poems, paintings, installations, and all printed works (illustration etc..) are welcomed and some will be selected for the exhibition.
Some will be published on the internet for public viewing.

All art works should express a certain personal aspect and relate to the war.
The goal of this project is to provide a chance to express how we feel about the current situation, and the atrocities we have been through.

What’s Namleh At3a?

An ant is tiny but it can lift five times its own weight. ants are highly evolved, intelligent, cooperative creatures.
The Lebanese are similar to ants in their way of bearing overwhelming pressure and still keep on living,building, and starting over. this is the reason behind the choice of the name of our project. Namleh At3a, “An ant passing by"
Submission is open to anyone with a unique subjective message.
