Georges Nasser

Georges Nasser was born on 15 June 1927 in Tripoli, in northern Lebanon. He went to study cinema at the University of California, Los Angeles, and returned to Lebanon in the mid-1950s. He directed only three feature films, from 1957 to 1975, two of them selected at Cannes; the civil war interrupted his career. He then taught at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts and tried in vain to provide the country with a technicians' union and a film support fund. He died on 23 January 2019, aged ninety-one.
