Film Screening: A World Not Ours


Sands Films will be screening director Mahdi Fleifel's award-winning film A World Not Ours in person and on-line on Tuesday 21st January at 8pm. An intimate, and often humorous, portrait of three generations of exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon.

Drawing on family archives (photos and videos), as well as historical footage, the film is a reflection on belonging, friendship and family. It is not only the story of a family, but an attempt to record what is fleeting, on the brink of falling into forgetting because of collective indifference to the despair of refugees. Fleifel, who had the privilege of leaving the bleak living conditions in the camp, returns to find his friends, with whom he still shares a passion for soccer and Palestinian politics. In the unmediated, yet tender foray into the universe of the camp, A World Not Ours intimates to the viewer the poignant lived experience of being deprived of the most basic of civic rights, over the span of generations.
