A Franco-Lebanese film

Coralie Dias produced her first short film in 2021, a fifteen-minute Franco-Lebanese film, directed by Dania Bdeir, entitled “Warsha”

. This work – whose gestation was long due to the events which hit Lebanon (notably the explosion at the port of Beirut) and the covid – has enjoyed a successful career, being awarded several times and broadcast in 300 festivals. It allowed the Aubussonnaise to meet Arab and Lebanese directors in particular.

Coralie Dias went to Lebanon, a country of which she has a good knowledge. Also, on Sunday, she presented “Dancing on a Volcano” at the Le Colbert cinema, a short film by Cyril Aris, a film whose producer she knows and appreciates. This film highlights the team's resilience and their struggle to continue making cinema in the middle of a devastated city in the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion. “We, when shooting “Warsha”, experienced the same difficulties.”

Anchored in the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin

Producing films takes time and money. Coralie Dias works in her office on Grande-rue d'Aubusson, on seven films, including two feature films.

If four of the five short films are made with Lebanon, Egypt and Iran, the fifth is made with Rémy Tamalet, director from Aubusson with whom she shot a short film in June at the Aubusson nursing home.

“By creating my production company in Aubusson, I wanted to defend the idea that it is possible to do international production in a rural environment.”

Coralie Dias is also working on two feature films, one is a French-Spanish genre film, which deals with the climate crisis. The other is set in Lebanon in the 1960s, a country seen from the perspective of a 12-year-old child.
