A Lebanese night in Cannes!

Empire, the Beruit-based cinema celebrated it’s 100th-anniversary last night at the Cannes Film Festival.  The Arabian night featured layers of Middle Eastern cultures and people who joined in on the magic during the rainy night. Lights, tents, mana’eesh, and cocktails. What’s not to love?

Established in 1919, Empire made history by becoming the longest-running movie theater in the Middle East.
