25 ans, déjà. Cet anniversaire n’est pas comme les autres. Le FMA s’est toujours présenté comme un bâtisseur de ponts entre les cultures, offrant un regard espiègle et lucide sur le monde, avec audace et enthousiasme.

Mais cette année, au lieu de célébrer simplement notre passé, nous ne pouvons ignorer l'éléphant dans la pièce : Gaza d'abord et maintenant le Liban. Face à ce tumulte, Handhala, l'enfant défiant, nous tourne le dos. Avec sa baguette de magicien et l'autorité d'un chef d'orchestre, il symbolise l'innocence qui persiste à créer, même lorsque les murs de la raison s'effondrent.

Sous le thème Méprises : 25 ans de rêves en couleurs, artistes, cinéastes et penseurs se rassemblent pour offrir une ode poignante à un peuple crucifié par les jeux des puissants.
