BOSTA

:''For the Hungarian village, see: Bosta, Hungary.''
'''Bosta''' (English: ''The Autobus'' Arabic: ''Bosta'' — بوسطة) is a 2005 Lebanese film by the director Philippe Aractingi. Bosta is a story of young lebanese artists who meet again, after being separated, and tour different cities of Lebanon in an old bus, performing a techno version of the dabkeh that shocks conservatives, but moves forward towards the future. The British group, Afro Celts performed the soundtrack.^[1]
Quoting from the official site :

''Bosta'' is a road musical that takes the audience on a wonderful journey across various Lebanese regions... a journey accompanied by a groundbreaking soundtrack and, of course, this truly pioneering dance, the electro-dabkeh.

''Bosta'' was the best selling film in Lebanon in 2006.^[2] The movie was submitted as the official Lebanese entry in the 79th Academy Awards (Oscars) in the Best Foreign Language Film category.^[3]
