Join us for a screening of A Letter from Beirut directed by Jocelyne Saab, followed by a conversation with Olivia Melkonian as part of Two Lenses on Beirut: a film programme curated by Emma Bouraba.
Saab returns to Beirut three years after the beginning of the Lebanese civil war to capture the impact and scars of the conflict. The film bursts with introspective and candid conversations shared on bus rides, in apartments with friends, as well as with refugees and peacekeepers.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with Olivia Melkonian investigating the role of recording in preserving collective memory. This is the final screening of a two part programme.
Emma Bouraba is a film programmer based in London whose research interest lies at the intersection of critical documentaries and the experimental form.
