Film Screening: TILKA

TILKA is an intimate portrait of five women navigating multiple crises in Lebanon: prolonged economic collapse, a global pandemic and the aftermath of the Beirut port blast. Najah, Tima, Rania, Fatima and Fida meet in March 2021 for an artist’s residency in the mountains outside Beirut, coming together to create an original piece of theatre. As the country grapples with collapse, they weave together a story inspired by their experiences as women fighting against the odds for their rights.
TILKA won Best Local Documentary at the 2023 Lebanese Independent Film Festival and premiered in the UK at Cambridge Film Festival.
