About this Event

A WORLD NOT OURS (2014) dir. MAHDI FLEIFEL
Running time 1h 33m

A World Not Ours is an intimate and often humorous portrait of three generations of exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh in southern Lebanon. Drawing on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film offers a sensitive and illuminating study of belonging, friendship, and family.

Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, the film becomes more than a portrait—it is an act of preservation, capturing what risks being forgotten and marking what should not be erased from collective memory.

Audience Certification: Parental guidance advised (PA)

Film screening made possible by Refguee Week Film Festival with Counterpoints Arts.
