I guess it should. All the surrounding countries have magnificent movies (and usually low budget). Tho in my experience, if I want to talk about Lebanon and the 21 surrounding Arabic countries, I don't think there is much (and that's since the creation of cinema). There are many short movies or documentaries, never a good feature film.
