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 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards (Oscars) in the Best Foreign Language Film category.[3]
