I'll have to look into it, but if it's true it's another point to Ziad's argument. @Agénor

It's ART and I added the e out of habit. I'm going to call and verify just in case I've confused the issue, but I suspect it's just a typo. Ziad was upset at the Arab world at large, so while I meant Lebanese by local, he wanted to comment on the Arab film industry (and lack there of) as a whole. ART is Saudi, but even Saudi funding is rare for films. I think Egypt is the only Arab country with a healthy film industry. That might be interesting to check out. I feel like seeing West Beirut again for the translation. It'll be interesting to see how well the curses and dark humor translate. @Agénor

I remember ending up watching it by luck. As I was switching channels, I read the French word for pimp on the screen and heard it at the same time. It was only one or two channels later that I asked myself how come it was subtitled since it was in a language intelligible to the average. Then realised that I had indeed understood what was spoken but that it wasn't the language in which Le Cid was written^^ I bet the German translation was of quality as well. Speaking of which, is there a Lebanese media group called Arte? In the answer to "Can’t you find local financing?", they are mentionned but the context seems to suggest they are locals -Arab Radio Television Network uses the ART acronym, though again, those would be Saudi funds, still not Lebanese.
