find Marty and his skateboard in an open-air cinema at the skatepark

A free screening of Back to the Future 2 is offered on Saturday May 11 at 9:30 p.m. as part of the Zones Portuaires film festival.

The Zones Portuaires film festival returns from May 7 to 12 for a new edition in cinemas on the Presqu’île. The invited port city in 2024 is Beirut, with a program of short or feature films and documentaries, which will take spectators to the shores of the Mediterranean. A second part will open this year on “sports” cinema, with Émilie Rougier, skate champion and surfer, as associate programmer. Screenings, events, exhibitions, or even introductions to Life, in cinemas or at the skatepark, will highlight the discipline and its presence at the heart of the 7th art.
