"Huda’s Salon," a film by Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad, which screened March 7 at the Beirut International Women’s Film Festival on the occasion of International Women’s Day the following day, caused widespread controversy within the Palestinian community for containing indecent scenes and nudity, which some went as far as to describe as pornography.
The film raised the ire of members of the conservative Palestinian public, which denounce such bold scenes in Palestinian cinema.
