As part of Refugee Week Festival, we will be screening A World Not Ours, a film by Mahdi Fleifel, on 17 June at 20:00.
A World Not Ours is an intimate and often humorous portrait of three generations living in exile in the Ein el-Helweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Drawing on a rich collection of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film offers a sensitive and illuminating exploration of belonging, friendship, and family.
Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than a family portrait. It is an attempt to document what is being forgotten and to preserve what should not be erased from our collective memory.
