Safar Barlik ( the Exile), 1966: Set around 1914 when Lebanon was under the Ottoman Empire rule. This film took full use of the scenery of the countryside in Lebanon.- the film was shot on location in as many as eleven towns and villages. The old cities and costumes are authentic. A small Lebanese village rebels against the Ottoman occupation. "... fills you with longing for old times. Charming story, great actors and perfectly reproduced scenes. I just love the innocence and simplicity of people at that time, everybody is ready to sacrifice himself for the starving village. Got to watch it. " Note the use of the zils. I am not sure if she is Turkish, but according to Wikipedia, Turkish dancers are known for their energetic, athletic (even gymnastic) style, and particularly, until the past few years, their adept use of finger cymbals, also known as zils. Written by the Rahbani Brothers Music and Songs Written by the Rahbani Brothers Produced by Nader El Attasy Director of Photography Claude Robin Directed by Henry Barakat Thanks to: Flossiecat The dancer in the cafe scene is a Lebanese woman named Kawakib. Her name is only 'Mervat' in the film. She was very popular in Lebanon in the 60's. The Rahbanis were very particular about promoting Lebanese talent. Also, zills is Turkish - being that this is an Arabic dance from an Arabic film you should call them 'sagat.'
