Film Screening: Memory Box
About this Event
Join us for a free screening of Memory Box (2021), a moving Lebanese drama directed by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige.
On Christmas day in Montreal, Maia and her daughter Alex receive an unexpected delivery from Beirut. There are notebooks, tapes and photographs, a whole correspondence, that Maia, from 13 to 18 years old, sent from Beirut to her best friend who had left for Paris to escape the civil war. Maia refuses to open the box or confront its memories, but Alex secretly begins diving into it. Between fantasy and reality, Alex discovers the world of her mother’s tumultuous, passionate adolescence in the 80s, and well kept secrets.
Come along from 5pm to enjoy our Community Kitchen, serving a Lebanese plant-based meal, and take the opportunity to explore our galleries before the film begins.
This is a free event, however, if you’d like to support the project, donations are welcome via this link.
