KANARIS THEATRE

Join us for a screening of A World Not Ours, an intimate and often humorous portrait of three generations of exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh in southern Lebanon.

It’s part of the Refugee Week Film Festival. Each year, Refugee Week curates a selection of short and feature-length films exploring themes of displacement, migration, belonging and community. The theme of this year’s Refugee Week is Courage.

Directed by Mahdi Fleifel, A World Not Ours draws 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.

Running time 1h 33m. Audience Certification: Parental guidance advised (PA).

1-2.30pm Film screening.

2.30-3.00pm Reflection space.

1-4pm Tatreez art stall.
